FlyGlobeSpan and BA Cabin Crew
On the one hand the Scottish airline, FlyGlobeSpan, has gone bust and on the other we have BA’s cabin crew threatening a twelve day strike.
These are in effect two ends of the same problem. There are too many airlines chasing too little business and difficult choices have to be made. In BA’s case, they have to cut costs to survive and as I understand it, they are just reducing the conditions at the staff they employ at Heathrow to those at Gatwick and other bases.
Perhaps, the Scottish experience will knock some sense into the BA cabin crew. But it doesn’t look hopeful!
As Prudence bailed out the Scottish banks will he bail out this Scottish airline?
After all, there are a lot of Labour constituencies in Scotland!
