I welcome the Government’s consideration of allowing #DoubleJabbed Brits to travel internationally more easily this summer. This would provide much-needed business for our #AviationAndTourismIndustry, and see many people reunited with loved ones. #LoveIsNotTourism.

If I ran my family business (est 1984) like Cruz and Walsh run BA my wonderful workforce would have deserted me long ago and I’d have gone bust. Oh yeah, I’m not a thief only in it for personal gain and without thought for my legacy. #NationalDisgrace #StandWithBAWorkers #Bassa

As thousands face unemployment the man who actioned it retires on millions in bonuses. Rewarded for a personal vendetta by a board who bought millions of euros of shares on the cheap, all actioned during a global crisis. UK gov turning a blind eye #BAckToBedfont #nationaldisgrace

Just overheard the steward on my plane got a letter saying he lost his job this morning, yet still totally professional! You’re a disgrace @British_Airways and I shall stop flying with you! I notice @Iberia_en and @AerLingus have not been treated the same 🤷🏻‍♀️

My thanks to all the @British_Airways crew on BA346 to Nice yesterday. It's been a horrendously worrying time for all BA staff, who are being treated appallingly by the management, but they were as efficient courteous & (particularly)safety-conscious as always. Much appreciated.

Thé man is a #NationalDisgrace
Sharon Graham, executive officer @unitetheunion said: “Willie Walsh bragging about celebrating with champagne is cruel and callous when BA staff are worried sick about paying rent or mortgages and putting food on the table for their families. #BAbetrayal #NationalDisgrace
A nasty little creature. At the opposite end of the scale was Colin Marshall. Eloquent, elegant and charming to crew
I once sat across a table with Willie Walsh and his face was full of contempt and hatred at having to talk to a union rep. He sneered was contemptuous and disrespectful throughout. In short a narcissist, a bully and a not very nice human being, BA crew must resist him #BAbetrayal

During today's statement by the PM, I highlighted how businesses are exploiting the Job Retention Scheme and placing employees on notice before firing them. This is happening before businesses have to make a contribution to their employees wages. It's an abuse of the scheme.

It’s obvious that BA are planning to unfurlough their workforce 1 July in order to sack them all without redress from the government. You have 9 days to get the law changed @GavNewlandsSNP #NationalDisgrace #babetrayal #StandWithBAWorkers @HuwMerriman

It’s my 25th service anniversary today with #britishairways. It’s been a great adventure working for the ‘worlds favourite airline’! But, today has come and gone and I feel nothing but sadness and betrayed from the company I have invested all of my working life to.#babetrayal

So tonight, I’ve had a good cry. I needed to; I had to let it all out. I’m a tough old bird and a fighter, but I’m also emotive, empathetic and human, (unlike some!) This is calculated, cruel and callous. #BAbetrayal #NationalDisgrace @BASSA_2000 @BaBetrayal

Now BA want us to take unpaid leave because they don’t want to furlough us, then fire us when we go back. It is unbelievable to think there was a time when we all would have bent over backwards to help the company we loved. #BAckstabbers #NationalDisgrace #BAbetrayal

👏👏👏 @BASSA_2000
Proof that British Airways are simply waging a vendetta against their staff. Their parent company has just admitted it’s more than happy to pump more money into the airline. We won’t stop fighting for every British Airways worker
What does Taunton Deanes MP @pow_rebecca think of this? Anything? Anything at all? I voted for you. I’ve written to you countless times. A little support would go a long way. POW? More like PFFFFT. #NationalDisgrace #BaBetrayal #StandWithBAWorkers
Very useful Zoom chat this morning with @GMBScotOrg reps on the situation facing #BritishAirways, Menzies and Swissport employees and the outlook for the wider sector including #RollsRoyce & GLA Airport. We need UK Gov't sectoral support & the threat of #fireandrehire lifted now
Pointed remarks about British Airways from Boris Johnson at #PMQs: "They should do what they can, as well, to look after their workers in very difficult times, because those workers will stand them in good stead when the economy turns up again."

Guess he never got Willie’s email - ‘pretend we’ve got no money’ Oops
British Airways says it is burning through £20 million every day and needs to cut costs to survive. The biggest shareholder in IAG (which owns BA) has just told Sky News it is willing to put more money into the airline group.

I lodged a constituent petition backing my #fireandrehire Bill, which would ban companies such as #BritishAirways from firing employees only to rehire them on lower wages The bill will get nowhere w/out Govt adopting the measures It's time for Boris to #backtheworkers #BAbetreyal
