Effect of no strike dates
Hi Wascrew,
From a customer's perspective this just makes things worse. I've got a flight next Friday, which I'm now fairly sure is safe; but if customers can only be sure that there won't be a strike for the next 7 days then that's awful.
Anyone holding off purchasing tickets until the strike dates were announced will now book with another carrier; anyone with tickets already purchased has a nervous wait until they're a week short of their trip.
I can understand that this appears to strengthen the negotiating hand for BASSA, but I think BA would also rather the strike dates were announced so they can get on with breaking it. If WW really does want to sort out BSSA then it wouldn't surprise me if talks break down quite quickly...
