As an example: twitter - is changed to . . .
is a word replacement - the software automatically filters out certain words in a posting
Try it and see if you don't believe me._ I fell foul of this because I wanted to refer to the system of communication that was used to "chatter on" by an former Joint Secretary.

Wimp! Come on mon brave, where's your Gallic backbone? We're off to GND next week, YUL in June, DEN in Sept. & will be booking CPT at the end of March. I have no worries whatsoever that our flights will be threatened.
BA are going from strength to strength. Rumour has it that one day they may even buy some new airframes.

Fincastle84,
You will get to try three different fleets.
Grenada is Gatwick,
Denver is Mixed Fleet
Montreal could be either WW or M/F as it is on the list to go but still WW at mo.
And Capetown is Worldwide.
Only one missing is E/F!! Mine of course!
Hope whatever happens you have good flights with all our fleets.

We've just taken delivery of 777-300s and are putting the new First in most LH fleets.
Even during the strikes last year LH operated pretty normally, staff travel wasn't even cancelled.
Even if another strike is called there will still be enough crew turn up, so book with confidence!
The general public mostly don't even realise there's a dispute, the last announcement didn't make most of the papers which is probably why the "Brutish Airways" adverts were taken out.

BG, we have always had good flights with BA. Both your ground staff & CC always give 100% wherever we are travelling. (Oops, & the 2 winged master race are, of course, brilliant.)
I'd forgotten, Mel is off to ARN in April so you might see her then. You'll probably hear her first
Thanks Yotty, I hadn't realised that they were so imminent. Yes, I wouldn't want to try to predict the arrival of the 787, tho' I think it'll be a goody.

Fin, that's really nice to hear.
Hope your Mel has a good flight too. Even on E/F a lot of flights operated during the IA as normal and if not the passengers were able to swap on to other flights, that were going that day, very easily.
One of my Gold card passengers last time, said it was his third flight that week, and all had been great.
Many thanks.

BA first and always
I'm 50+ flights a year BA domestic plus half a dozen long haul each year in CW or WTP... So I am a fan.
But flew BA TATL in deeply discounted Y for the first time in years - and was hugely impressed.... Miles better product than I remember, way ahead of US rivals I have had to endure, LHR WW crew terrific, with no Bassa lanyards or yellow pens in sight.
Dispute - what dispute?
I will continue to book with confidence...

I'll just join the "What Strike?" party by saying ...
Booked UK-USA in April.
Booked UK-USA in September.
ALSO looking for an additional holiday to fill the space ... trying to find a destination that suits us, flying with BA of course. I will NOT have my travel plans dictated to by rampaging Trade Unionists, thank you. I/we fly BA for a variety of well-considered reasons, and we will continue so to do ... and BA will, as usual, deliver us to our destination and bring us home again.
And HARRUMPH

Wimp! Come on mon brave, where's your Gallic backbone?
My Gallic backbone is in great shape, but my wallet has more moths than notes due to the recession! Wimp I'm certainly not, but don't have enough to buy tickets twice or pay extra to connect via LHR ... But I'll still keep my eye on BA before making a final decision and spending those dwindling Euros!

Cher Alsacienne, plus petit courage.
By the time you book the flights will cost more anyway!!
Do you have travel insurance?

I'm on BA295 to ORD on Friday. I know that's 777, but no idea what fleet that is. Interestingly, it'll be 294 on the way back two weeks later and that'll be 744. I haven't been on a 74' in simply ages.

Ladies and gentlemen,is the dispute a dead parrot?
'E's not pinin'! 'E's passed on! This parrot is no more! He has ceased to be! 'E's expired and gone to meet 'is maker! 'E's a stiff! Bereft of life, 'e
rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed 'im to the perch 'e'd be pushing up the daisies! 'Is metabolic processes are now 'istory! 'E's off the twig! 'E's kicked the
bucket, 'e's shuffled off 'is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisibile!! THIS IS AN EX-PARROT

We have a new route starting soon to San Diego. It is a fantastic city with the loveliest climate and great for a holiday!
