FINCASTLE
You have benn following this thread for a long time, so I fail to have sympathy with you as you have had plenty of time to make alternative arrangements with another airline.
Also a strike WILLNOT send 1000s to other airlines,there WILLNOT be many empty seats, BA WILLNOT close and there WILLNOT be long queues at the Job centre. Just look at the history. Tad dramatic me thinks.
