The most incriminating point is that an out-of-court settlement with the relatives of the passengers was reached.

I don’t think the investigation would have withstood the scrutiny of a Court.

The logic of it all is still utterly beyond me.

Most airline employees will bad mouth the likes of Ryanair over a beer. And yet, despite much better conditions with BA, they are prepared to unilaterally break the law and threaten their own futures.

I’m afraid if I was CEO, there would be riot police arresting all those staff members and the legal team would be ensuring they spent a decade behind bars, with their houses reposessed if possible. They don’t deserve to wear “British” on their uniforms.

Where’s Scargill 🙁

AF is not a private company though. BA has to stand on its own two feet.

BA are now saying the resolution of the strike is crucial to the survival of the airline. With their only bare profitability and the downgrade of their debt to “junk” status I wouldn’t especially think that notion is hyperbole.

Anyone changing their opinion?
