Blackmail ?

British Airways asks staff to work unpaid for up to a month.

Read : http://edition.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/europe/06/16/british.airways.work.free/index.html.

First : once again, employees are the "dindon de la farce".

Second : airlines are in for a very rough time anyway ; there is significant overcapacity and mismanagement worldwide. And a very major part of demand can only be sustained because real transport prices are not taken into account in the price setting (air transport is one of the major sources of pollution which is largely free).

Wouldn't it be better to let the company go bankrupt ?
