Please find attached a follow-up letter sent to Willie Walsh by the Chair of the Transport Select Committee, Huw Merriman here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Committee are clearly dissatisfied with the answers they have been getting from BA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please also find attached a letter to Willie Walsh from 38 Labour MP’s here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Again these raise questions that the company continue to evade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Staying Together<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

These letters – and countless others that you have shared with us – show how horrified the public and politicians are by what is happening at BA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the leaders at BA and IAG are charging on regardless of the adverse publicity this is generating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, they are putting the BA brand in jeopardy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But there is another side-effect to their plans – they are bringing us all closer together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previously BA have chosen to inflict difficult change on one group at a time, rather than all at once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This time no-one can really feel safe: we really are all in it together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is clear to us that everyone is feeling vulnerable and anxious at the moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the best way to get through these terrible times is for GMB reps and members to stick together<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take care, stay strong,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
