BA clearly have financial problems and need to cut expenditure but doing it by reducing staff is not helpful as it affects the quality of their service and a strike will worsen the situation.

If the situation is really bad then the management staff need to take a big cut in salary and workers need to take a much smaller one. In that way, expenditure is reduced and BA still remains competitive allowing the company to continue to generate income.

Let's bear in mind that it is management who took the decisions which led to the company being in the state it is in.

Putting people out of work solves nothing and in the interest of keeping the company going it does seem that a bit of common sense and compromise is in order.
