British Airways: a loving family in the sky?

British Airways are planning to offer their employees the opportunity to work for a month without pay. Good plan! I've always thought if someone is only working for you to collect their daily bread then you can hardly rely on them. Sort out the wheat from the chaff!

If I get the chance to talk to the high fliers at BA I'll be recommending a course of action still more extreme: why rest at stopping paying for your employees? Their biggest problem is oil prices. Why pay for oil at all? A thousand BA enthusiasts around the world should provide the oil, free of charge! Wouldn't you better trust them than the terrible Big Oil firms? And why charge your customers? Or ask them for passports? If that's the way you treat your customers then no wonder we have a problem with terrorists on planes; who else wants to fly BA? Yes.. that's the way to go.. a big loving family in the sky. You've taken the first step on a beautiful voyage, BA.

  1. BA spent £2.5bn on oil last year. Their thousand enthusiasts would thus have to give BA £2.5 millon worth of oil. Every year.

  2. Why are you so obsessed with money? BA isn't.
