Lucky escape

I wonder if British Airways cabin crew & their union are breathing a sigh of relief & thanking their lucky stars, or the judge who ruled their proposed Christmas strike illegal.

People have been remarkably stoical, cheerful even in a resigned kind of way, despite the frustrations of the weather, its incredible ability to stop the trains even in a tunnel, & now a renewed terrorist alarm to disrupt holiday travel.

But I cant help feeling that something like lynch mobs might have formed if those lucky enough still to have jobs had thrown it all in people’s faces, for the sake of what exactly?
