BA Strike - Your Thoughts & Questions

[twoteapots]

I am due to fly BA to Vegas on 20th, which I booked in November to use up some of my remaining BA miles, with the intention of not flying BA again. Why? I have found over the years that, in general, the CC’s attitude has become more surly and, at times, I felt that I was doing them a favour by flying with them. However, as time has passed and following all the BASSA/Unite shenanigans and 60s style rhetoric and having watched the consistent and strong message from WW, plus the superb rallying of the rest of the BA team, I have become more and more pro BA and now feel almost obligated to support them once the union is broken, which it surely will be. As SLF, my hope is that the majority of the ‘old guard’ will either pack their bags and leave or get fired and we can then have a national airline that we can again be proud of. Given the current political/economic climate, I don’t think that striking BA CC could be more out of touch with the rest of the nation.
Heard from a friend who flew during the last strike and who bought a box of chocolates from duty free before boarding his BA flight, which he gave to the crew as he went on board. Apparently, the captain was so impressed by his gesture he came back and personally thanked him. So, if you are flying through the next strike, why not go out of your way to thank the crew for keeping your flight going, I know I will.
