So the reputation of British Airways is once again down the toilet (along with an estimated £40m of BA's profits), 100,000 have their travel plans wrecked, and the British tourist industry (already jittery following the London bombings) takes another hit, and it turns out that by a strange coincidence the company at the centre of all this, Gate Gourmet, had prepared a secret plan that bears an uncanny resemblance to what has taken place:

Recruit, train and security check drivers. Announce intention to trade union, provoking unofficial industrial action from staff. Dismiss current workforce. Replace with new staff.

The only rational conclusion I can draw is that the management of Gate Gourmet are a communist sleeper cell dating from the Cold War, who have never abandoned their mission to undermine and discredit capitalism from the inside. Except that, from what I've seen and heard of their management, I think that would be crediting them with too much competence.
