British Airways & pending Strikes
Management must hold the responsibility here.
They have being working for years , on this deal with Iberia & America
It is all about costs & supposed savings,
if they can hoodwink those they need to , so to obtain all Green Lights
In Reality the board by choosing the Irish Man , has destroyed the airline slowly & steadily & before his contract runs out- he secures his un deserved Future with this merger of smerges of deceit.
BA- has not & is not & has not tried to be competitive on fares, with the
Internet Sales – they still treat the market from the UK differently & more expensively than those they chase all over Europe , so to fly through UK onwards.
SO Uk residents etc actually subsidize other’s cheap travel.
& The list continues !
But back to the Strike!
Forget Unite , remember the wages are pitifull,
the standard of staff pretty much the same-
who seriously would want to be a waitress in the sky for BA -
where is the perks, the money or the Future!
Many who they have on their staff , should already have ben put out to pasture !
BA reminds us of the late& PAN AM , & when it was declining,where the crews said everything.
Maybe as so much of Uk service industry can hire from Africa
India etc South America for the hospitals etc & more
why can not BA do the same !
The strike is all about the deal! & the Management like many UK Managements, are being incorrect & deceitful, with their true intentions.
Those that work inside whether the board or executive committee etc are all sleeping or not doing the duty !
BA since Thatcher years has been too poliical
We had Lord King , ( no airline experience)
the the Civil Servant Bob Ayling ( who should have stayed witht the Mandarins) a smuch of the wastage surplus funds were incorrectly invested in chasing CLub passengers to their detriment
As with Willie Walsh- he came from Aer Lingus- asa failure as he could not Achieve Putting the airline into play – yes a sell OUT- so fees could be collected ! and so BA hires him
ah we missed the Australian from failed Ansett! who has close ties with Murdoch
BA neeeds a sincere & true clean up of the Board– & this is not part of the Iberia deal !
as it should be in Uk interests to keep BA independent & work the alliance One World intelligently & not about playing senior jobs off within an inner club!
Remember the opposite number at Iberia comes recently from Tobacco, so to assist this dubious deal
It stinks but not of Tobacco !!
