Genuinely not sure, been following the news from BA, Easyjet Ryanair and Jet 2.

All these airlines have announced proposed job losses, which I thought was inevitable.

A friend of mine at BA however thinks that any job losses or pay cuts are out of order and agrees with Union they must be stopped.

Haven't debated with her as it's an awful time for her , but surely in current circumstances job losses should be expected?

Happy to be told I am wrong etc just curious what people think.

Thanks, if the unions don't turn up to negotiate does that delay redundancies as the airline needs union agreement ?

Not sure of the answer but of course that seemed to be UNITE's initial tactic - not turn up to consultations after the S188 letters went out.

It’s probably a coping mechanism. No one is deluded enough to expect a job where there is no work to be dogs.
