Well Exeng read Mick Stability's post plus a few others on this thread and you may see why so many of us in this industry think of BA as we do. As for what any of us would do to 'save a 150 lives' same as they did, flare a bit and wait. So the pilots haven't been on strike for a while, unfortunately just about everyone else has or are threatening to, the other problem is that the BA staff always give the impression thet they are doing you a big favour letting you on the aircraft. For longhaul, always use the far eastern carriers, they provide a service.
