Striking British Airways pilots stripped of free flight ‘mega perk’ by defiant airline bosses
STRIKING pilots were today stripped of their staff travel concessions for three years by defiant British Airways bosses. (www.thesun.co.uk) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
As an unimportant fare-paying passenger what I regret is the fact that BA is directed and managed by a crowd of barrow boys who, over many years, have turned a once great airline into a low grade, unreliable, under-staffed, over-expensive cash cow for them and their city slicker cronies. It's the modern management method i.e. if you can't manage, charge more and pay less...and if you can manage, charge even more and pay even less...simples innit?
I think the strike is coming back and biting the pilots. They made the airline lose millions when they could be getting paid, and then they lose the perks from angry BA bosses. Great.
The pilots were striking on behalf of all employees as this was the most crippling and effective way to take action.
It's a negotiating tactic. The airline will eventually agree to give it back in order to get the union to give up one of its demands.
I find it incredible that there is a conversation on here about an article that appeared in the SUN.
I hope this also goes for retired pilots
