The catering company laid people off. I really don/t see what

They are all related, a point that passed the dimwits at BA by by a
very wide margin.

It's a customer/supplier relationship, with BA being the customer of
the catering firm - separate companies. Therefore what possible
relevance does the employment terms and conditions of the caterer's
staff have to the employees of their customer? That's a nonsense.



Outsourcing is simply a way of not having to deal with non-core
aspects of a business.

Unfortunately many companies run by accountants, and BA are a classic
example, have decided customers are a non core activity.

That's certainly true.
