I am v. disappointed with BA and BA staff. Wildcat strikes (not walkout - strike) do most to hurt pax confidence. I am emigrating to Canada soon and intend to fly BA on my way there as up to now I considered them far superior to AC.
BA should pay the staff whatever the "final offer" increase was into their bank accounts. If the staff don't consider that sufficient they can strike, but perhaps enough of them will be happy with it as an interim settlement. However, if BMI flew ORK-LHR, I would be seriously considering a move from oneworld to Star as my main airlines of choice after today.
