Is it time BA said 'enough' to their staff?

Their staff have this lovely habit of holding the airline to ransom during its peak periods July/Xmas with industrial action.

They all want a pay rise when things are going well and seem to be reluctant to help out/hand back when things are going badly.

They are not as pretty as the Singapore Girls - they are not as compatent and friendly as the middle eastern carriers and yet some how believe they are gods sent gift to flight attendants.

They are paid substantially higher than the Virgin Cabin crew.

Is seems to be a serious short coming of theirs that they fail to realise how good their job actually is.

I think BA's passengers must stick behind the airline and say we will still fly with you - even if you have to cancel a few flight to sort out their staff. This will encourage BA to take the necessary steps to address their staff problems.

Are the staff and Unions fully aware that if they don't help the airline out - I don't like Walsh by the way - then BA will cease to exist as a going concern.
