YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The General Secretary of the airline pilots' trade union BALPA has said the government must support the industry with restrictions that have arisen from the coronavirus pandemic.

Willie Walsh, chief executive of British Airway's parent company IAG, told the Commons Transport Select Committee that plans to cut up to 12,000 jobs were driven by the need to ensure the survival of the airline given the "greatest crisis" ever seen by the sector.
