Off-topic, I know, but this came in on another Web forum overnight ...
Had the most interesting chat with my uncle today. We're all sat around and I ask him if he's happy BA didn't strike (he's a baggage handler), and he told me in his own words how it really is.
He turns up for his first day at work, limitless ethusiasm and some guys there already told him "just find somewhere to sleep and don't worry, I'll wake you up when its time for break". So my uncle turned around and said "I can't do that! I'll get the sack!" "Don't worry, we all do it, thats how it is here, just go and sleep and I'll wake you up when its time for break"
You can see why he loves his job so much.
No wonder BA lose so much money
The CC dispute apparently is only part of the problem with BA.
