Sums up their cabin service. Apart from BA...Qantas and KLM are airlines to avoid long haul cattle class.
The sooner these dinosaurs are extinct the better
Would you have all this well paid airlines disappear and be stuck with T+Cs of the likes of Ryan and Easy? Everyone self employed, paid by the scheduled flight hour?
I dont think they should strike, I hate over powerful unions holding the nation to ransom; times are tough for all airlines, (nice timing by the way of annoucing the pension black hole - coincidence...?) but if staff dont stand up to influx's of cheap labour it destroys it for all...
Example, was talking to a ultra-long distance trucker at weekend, he used to get paid 700-1000 euros a week. Now the company is in the process of registering all trucks in Bulgaria and hiring eastern block staff paying them 700 euros a month!
but jesus, 12 day strike? come on people, open your eyes. Pension hole is enough to probably make the company insolvent as it is.
