I worked for Big Airways for 10 years, leaving about a year and a half ago. I can sympathise with the cabin crew, but I sincerely hope another strike doesn't go ahead. I hope some negotiation can sort this out. The trouble is that BA's reputation for striking is getting to be quite something. I can see there may be a lot of passengers out there, who. if planning an important trip, might think 'I'll go on BA....Hmm, maybe it's not worth the risk actually'.
It would be a real shame if BA's reputation keeps going down the pan like this.
