There's a British Airways staff strike starting tomorrow, after weeks of legal shenanigans on behalf of the airline, which is determined to turn their workforce into a bitter, resentful bunch of underpaid minions - like Ryanair etc.
Shamefully, BA's Irish chairman, Walsh, is a former union official.
The workers aren't being greedy: they've offered to take a substantial pay cut and reduced terms of service while BA have resorted to underhand legal action, but BA's plan is actually to replace the workforce with a new, cut-price airline.
When I'm in charge, there won't be airlines. There may be some aircraft for emergencies, but everyone else can use highspeed rail on their own continents, and the space elevator and orbital link for long distance travel.
