Your obvious dedication to your job and us passengers is very much appreciated and not un-recognised. You are, primarily, why we fly BA and not other airlines......(you know who I mean......)

As someone who works in an industry that is quite an "endangered" species, I feel for you all and hope that my many trips (company and personally financed) help in some very small way.

Whilst recognising the difficult climate for us all, I would hate to think that any of you would suffer - it would be such appalling "short termism".

Good luck to you all and thank you!!
Thankyou for your thoughts, hopefully we will be able to find ways to reduce numbers voluntarily (part time, job share, unpaid leave etc) and it wont be necessary to make people redundant. It is a very tough time in this industry and it is playing on the minds of most staff. Of course one simple solution is for all you FTers to go on a mileage accrual program!! There are loads of full fares available now on ba.com
