Yes I cant help thi king the timing of BALPA suspending further action (for now) may have been linked to their view on TC refinancing progress stalling.
It would be quite ironic to appear on the news with 2 hats on. 1 demanding a better deal from an airline that is profitable because (like it or not) it has got ahead of the curve and 2 bemoaning the loss of jobs at TC because management failed to take steps to modernise and update the business model to reflect changing consumer behaviour and the impact of LCCs.
Nonetheless no one likes to see professional loyal staff out of work so I don't say the above with anything but regret.
