WAKE UP!!
If the BA crew that take industrial action over the Christmas period think this is going to endear them to the traveling public, think again. My wife has a ticket booked over this period, and this is the LAST time I will ever book or fly with British Airways, you are worse than a third world operation.
In case you didn't notice there is a recession on at the moment, and your airline is losing crap loads of money. You are lucky to have jobs.
Just because you are in a pickle, why do you have to screw up everybody else's festive season. My Christmas wish is that BA shuts up shop and leaves you all on the dole. If you really need a pay raise, you should think of ways to negotiate that affect BA and not the general public, who, no matter how you justify what you are doing, don't deserve this!!!!
