Strike

Free at last.....we said a strike wouldn't happen with Virgin Cabin crew and how wrong we were. I guess the government may step in but knowing the lack of forethought Gordon Brown's muppets have, it wouldn't happen until the eleventh hour when everybody's travel plans would have been stuffed.

One thought I have had is if the airports do shut then no one at all would be allowed in due to lack of security staff. From an engineereing point of view, that would leave an awful lot of aircraft without maintainance on their down time. Once the strike was over, the knock on effect would no doubt last for days.

I do hope sense will prevail but we are talking about the BAA here!!
