The CSD worked the cabin and was a very charming woman who projected a great deal of aplomb and gracious authority. Her crew were upbeat and friendly and ready to make a charming comment
.
What a wonderful phrase.."gracious authority".
And how unfortunate is it that for many of us here in the "I just have a ticket" land that we assume that anyone that has that approach is a non-striker. But that is the public face that the strikers have given their customers.
At a recent social evening I was sitting with my husband and three or four senior individuals with different entities with ties to my husband's business. One from the States was discussing his difficulties on his latest travel to London. I mentioned the great word of mouth I had heard, though I have not experienced it personally, regarding BA's service from New York to London City. When the gentleman said "But what about BA's strike issue?" it was met with laughter by three of the individuals present. Unfortunately one stated "You won't meet the socialists on that route..its really wonderful.".
I'm not sure if the BA Cabin Crew as a whole have realized how they have let their image be diminished by the BASSA militants...and when do they say "Enough is enough".
