Nice one Linda, I'm with you, absolutely.

Villan, these BA employees aren't social-workers, it's not their responsibility to ensure that people living apart are able to play Happy Families at Christmas. They're not paid to be social-workers, they're paid to wet-nurse and butt-kiss passengers on flights - that's all. They're people already on low-ish incomes whose cunning, manipulative employer has manufactured the timing of this situation in order to rob them of a third of what they have, and to have a sure-fire means of turning public opinion against them when they object and try to fight back. Seems like BA have fooled a lot of gullible people.

But it looks as though they'll be working anyway, thanks to the courts, so families who are travelling will have Christmas together, which of course is good. Let's hope The outcome for BA's workers is equally happy in the end.

Happy Christmas everyone.
