Iberia and Lufthansa both recorded full year losses for 2009. BA made a loss of over £400m in 08 with larger losses expected in 2009. Low cost carriers such as Ryanair or even Easyjet have remained profitable - Neither pay their cabin crew as much as BA. But as I stated before the PR battle has really been lost. Also with many people lie Kliome and many others now avoiding BA staff should expect further reductions of pay and numbers.

As kids we're not taught how to deal with success; we're taught how to deal with failure. If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. If at first you succeed, then what?

I'm not from the UK and as neither get much international coverage I have no opinion on them.

Not an ideal solution to replace a workforce with one from other countries purely on a short term cost basis....
The money paid that is to them almost 90% of that gets exported (including government benefits).....salaries earned by nationals usually stays within the domicile country.....

Fatboy, from what you are saying you have abandoned your striking colleagues and have gone into work, there is a word for that. However you still seem to be seeking the sympathy of people on this board. No doubt you will readily accept any improved terms and conditions gained by your colleagues who have gone on strike. You are sure to be popular with them when they return.

And what is that word BENBEN1? I wonder what department of BA you work in?
Not looking for sympathy.....just trying to get across that there are 2 sides to this, and every story, and what you read in the papers, or see on the news or net, isn't always the truth.
Think what you want to think - I don't give a fuck. I'm doing what I see best for me, at this current stage of my career. I won't bother posting any further information from the inside then....as most seem to have already come to their own conclusions on this subject, and are unable to accept the views of others.
I'll just get back to work then.....and wait quivering with fear that I wont be popular anymore....
If it fails to inflate....blow into this tube.

In the States the word is scab.
What was it when you were at Ryanair?
Very easy for those not involved to start the name calling from their Ivory towers.
Everyone has their own reasons for doing things in this life. FB has made his position more than clear.
Lets leave it at that....

Seems that the union bosses is just like the rest of us.
Found this on the Daily Mail website..
The boss of the trade union behind the British Airways strike has admitted visiting a seedy go-go bar while on official business in Thailand.
Derek Simpson and fellow Unite official Terry Pye went to the Playskool bar in Bangkok where young women offer customers sex for £40.
Mr Simpson, 64, whose union’s membership includes thousands of women, including hundreds of female cabin crew at BA, drank beer in the bar while girls dressed only in bikinis danced on stage.
Women who work at Playskool are forced to earn a living by selling sex to customers. Their wages are cut substantially by the bar owners unless they sleep with at least nine clients every month.
A British tourist who was in the bar says he saw the two union men enjoying a drink there.
Mr Simpson, the £105,000-a-year joint general secretary of Unite, and Mr Pye, the union’s national officer for the steel industry, were in Bangkok at the end of last month during a crucial period of negotiations aimed at averting the current series of BA cabin crew strikes over pay and conditions.
They flew to Thailand at union expense for a two-day stopover to meet union leaders from the Thai motor industry.
From there they flew on to Sydney where they met Australian union bosses to discuss Unite’s plans to form a global trade union.
Last night Unite refused to reveal the cost of the trip, but union insiders estimated the bill came to around £2,000, including two £659 return economy flights on the Taiwanese airline EVA.
Accommodation in Australia was paid for by the Australian unions.
Mr Simpson was spotted in Bangkok on February 28 by Denis Simons, 72, from Northampton, his wife Hazel and their son Lee, 47.
There is also a interview with one of the bar girls explaining her income etc...
