not surprising really - BA's pension scheme is amazing! even in private hands, BA staff enjoyed all the trimmings from their union-led nationalised industry days

BA is just like any other airline these days - perhaps if they had been able to keep Concorde..........

well as long as the 1,700 job-losers are their UGLY trolley dollies - Gawd, they are awful =))

well to one as Idyllic as yourself SM I expect you find the whole the human race ugly :))

oh no, believe me, BA take ugliness to a whole new level =))

in my time at LGW and LHR, the crumpet percentage was at least 85% of all trolley dollies, with most airlines - particularly VA, Monarch, Britannia etc etc, but with BA it was about 10%

BA personnel were never that well liked in general - they always seemed to believe their "The World's Favourite Airline" line - they were rather pompous

and largely ugly =))
