    Most of the losses made by BA have been because of their poor planning in buying their fuel, now the staff are being asked to pay for that mismanagement.

    i think this is a universal truth also.

    BAh humbug!

    'Am I the only one to notice that the Great British nation and one of it's iconic institutions have been systematically shafted by the Scots and Irish? Brown, Darling and Walsh.

    It seems the Irish runnng airlines are particulalrly abrasive in their styles - O'Leary and Walsh.

    It's common knowledge that all over the world there are Celtic covens where evil geniuses (for whom, of course, Brown et al. are merely pawns: the real powers lurk in the darkness, gorging on haggis and guinness while listening to maudlin folk songs) mastermind cunning plans to take over the world.
    Yet power for its own sake is not the true goal, it's all purely for the sake of annoying the English.

    Some deluded people like to think that Scottish and Irish people who've made it to the top in the UK might possibly have got there on the basis of their ability and drive, but's that's absurdly improbable isn't it?

    Can't let that one go. BA have done very well over the last few years with fuel hedging.

    The problem in the airline business at the moment is a lack of revenue, principally premium revenue (first/business class) historically this has recovered extremely slowly after a downturn and there is a very good chance it will never reach the levels it was at 2 years ago.

    BA staff are being asked to bring there costs closer to those of the opposition. Those cabin crew currently employed by BA are not being asked to take a pay cut.

    If BASSA/Unite had seen fit to negotiate back in the summer then they too could have achieved a share scheme, like that secured by the pilots, to share in any future prosperity.
