Like lambs to the slaughter

That British Airways Cabin staff, already among the highest paid in the industry, are prepared to let themselves be lead by the nose into a labour dispute with absolutely no foundation whatever and, thereby, into oblivion by a militant ex-shipyard worker with limited communication skills, education or intelligence beggars belief. Arthur Scargill would be proud.

I actually stopped flying British Airways many years ago. Mostly it was because I could find better deals and a better travel experience by shopping around but the arrogant attitude of many of the cabin staff had a lot to do with it too. These same people are now supporting the strike.

In a world where everyone has a university degree (of whatever dubious quality) and is (supposedly) super-educated, one wonders why the BA CC feel it necessary to fall back upon an anachronism like a trades union at all?

If this strike really goes ahead resulting in further massive losses for BA then, perhaps, it might be a good thing. BA will probably go under freeing the company from the very people who caused its demise and without having to pay ridiculous and inflated severance packages.

Much better to let British Airways die now and let an alternative rise from the ashes with a sane and sensible set of employment and salary conditions that helps to put the company on an equal footing with the competition.
