Symptom of the times
I am about to fly BA long haul and some of the comments here and elesewhere have been very off putting. If I had a choice, I might have used another airline but the flight is part of a package. However, I still have confidence in the professionalism of the staff and expect to get to my destination safely. Recent comments about the impending strike that it is not about absolute levels of pay but about creeping inroads into terms and conditons whilst the directors pocket millions which nobody but them thinks they deserve, chime with other social issues and the pilots have my sympathy, although personally I hope issues are resolved before the strike b*****s up my holiday. But this is a symptom of our times - the greedy get greedier because they can and the rest of us pay.
