The IA was insignificant, it cost less than a typical winters snow disruption
My God, nearly £200 million each year for snow disruption, WOW! Or is this another fib: BBC News - British Airways reports £164m loss
But the greatest impact on BA was caused by industrial action taken by staff.
BA cabin crew who are members of the Unite union have gone on strike for a total of 22 days so far this year, including 15 in the reported quarter.
The BBC's employment correspondent Martin Shankleman said the 15 days of strikes in May and June had cost the airline £142m.
That was on top of the losses incurred for the seven days of strikes in March, which BA had previously said cost between £6m and £7m a day.
That puts the overall costs of the strikes so far at between £184m and £191m.
Bless HS, next you'll be telling us you fell for the psychological con trick of working for a month without remuneration.....that would be the biggest laugh!
As it happened BA's share price tanked down to about 115p
BA's share price remained steady at approx £2-£2.20 during the ffs, then rose to £3 on IB merger. It was after the merger in September 11 that it hit £1.26
