Unlikely; BA still needs the service, so many/most will be likely to
get a job in whatever organisation takes over.

The impression I get suggests to me that Gate Gourmet deserve to go
out of business.

They were saying that no other airline caterers have the capacity to
take on BA if GG was to vanish. I guess someone will buy the
operation, renegotiate the contract with BA and either re-employ the
staff on less £ or get cheaper staff in. Sad but likely...
