British Airways have one of the highest, if not the highest, staff costs per head of any airline in the world.
It is not a viable business model moving forward if the cabin crew, along with all other staff, don't recognise there will have to be some deterioration in their wages/conditions in order to keep the company viable.
Whilst it wasn't the main cause of Ansetts demise it certainly had an impact on the organisations profitability - I remember statistics showing their staffing cost per head being significantly more than Qantas et al.
