British Airways Agent support

I have been having an interesting conversation on twitter with regards for BA's calls for the Trade to support them.

Should BA have our support, in my mind the answer is yes as long as they support us!

In the mean time here are a few suggestions;

1. Agents do not owe Airlines a living

2. They should look at other ideas to improve there business (walking dogs perhaps?)

3. If there costs are wrong maybe they should look at there base line and see if there business is set up correctly.

4. Failing this we could all club together and pay some high powered consultants to come in and tell them what they already know

Yes I will come clean, this is the advice British Airways gave agents when they stopped paying us commission. But does remind me of the old saying "what goes around comes around"

Real suggestions on how to support agents:

Do not charge us for calling you (doing so means it is not support but a revenue stream)

Do not charge us for selling your goods. (Show me one other wholesaler who charges it retailers more than what it sells directly to the public).

Support us all the time, not only when things goes tits up for you.

Listen to us and do not inform us we do not know what we are talking about. 2 way dialog is need in any "partnership"

The way forward for business air travel?

Nice picture story in today's Metro showing a pilot waiting for his first "airborne fare" - part of The London Executive for Aviation's new air-taxi service. It comprises a fleet of Citation Mustang jets, which are said to be "significantly cheaper" to charter than similar jets. Is this the way forward for business travel?
