Which political issues in UK avaition industry affects british airways?
Answers:
Just about any going. How about:
* Pensions issues. Recent changes by the government have changed the way that companies deal with, and account for, pensions leading to potential confrontation with the workforce at the moment.
* Changes in equal opportunities regarding age of cabin crew & pilots. European regulations have chanced the compulsory retirement age. It used to be 55 for Pilots & Cabin Crew, soon it will be 60 for Pilots, 65 for CC. This increases the wage bill for the company=less profit.
* Price of fuel, which is affected significantly by Politics.
* Lack of third runway at Heathrow. Any airline using Heathrow is affected, but BA (Along with BMI & Virgin) are affected more than others due to it being their home base.
