Though of course, I would guess, for now, it would be more sensible to take it with a pinch of salt and then be relieved/happy later if and when something comes to fruition!
Whereas we would -
of course - never wish to describe in such terms any of those who might be heading up large international airlines ........
I do wonder which group of individuals could be deemed to have been the more helpful to all those BA workers currently under threat, either of having their future T&C’s of employment severely impacted, at best - or losing their livelihoods entirely, at worst ..... ?
Could it be
a) those who made the prompt decision to announce & launch a furlough scheme, offering considerable financial protection these past (and future) months .... ?
Or
b) an executive management whose own focus has been on implementing a large-scale redundancy programme ...... ?
