My sympathies also lie with the pilots and not the managers. I just wanted to point out the plain and simple fact that this action, following on the heels of the industrial unrest over the past few years, is only serving to alienate passengers. That cannot be in anyone's interest.
For the record, I have also tried to make this point directly with BA - but they have not had the courtesy to respond to me.
Which leads me to question if I want to do business in future with a Company that holds the views of its paying customers in such contempt.
I am not BA staff - I am a housewife/secretary working in the manufacturing industry.
