You have to think London/LHR/BA are just cursed. This is were MAN not being owned by BAA being a bonus, but we are due to fly BA from LHR next month ourselves.
Around 70% voted for strike action, but less than half of them voted. Hell of a mandate. They need to sort that out.....

This threat explains why I never choose BA for summer travels. Their Augusts seem particularly cursed. (Of course, this year's incarnation of the curse would hit non-BA airlines as well.)Last edited by jjpb3; 13 August 2010, 06:21 PM.‘Lean into the sharp points’

You do wonder if the unions are deliberately trying to break BA. OK, as a Brit I did vote with my feet many years ago by choosing SQ over BA for my many flights to Asia - if I was particularly patriotic re flying, I would have been a Silver or even Gold card holder with BA for many years, rather than being 5 years consecutive PPS qualified and a silver card holder with EK.
That said, what the unions are doing to BA is absolutely atrocious and has the net effect that people here are just going out of their way to avoid flying them for fear that their holidays / weekends away etc will be cancelled etc - very sad really

I've got a GVA-LHR on the 3rd of September on BA. I wonder if they'll just land in some non-baa airport and bus us into central london if this strike takes place
