[Kinky Gerbil]

BBC News - British Airways cabin crew vote for fresh strikes

Good times

Unions in touch with the pubic mood as usual.

It's a good job you get free flights with Virgin then!

You've got to be some kind of idiot to book with BA these days.

The staff are complete and utter wankers.

Sadly my trip in may is with BA

Hopefully all the trolley dollies who voted in favour of the strike will be joining the dole queue before the year is out.

*waits patiently for the usual union reps to appear and justify union bosses salaries for the sake of ba staff jobs*

No what will happen is that BA will get into deep financial shit and grovel to the tax payers to bail them out. Frankly it's high time that these people got sacked.

It's only going to end one way isn't it. RIP BA.

I'm really not sure they understand that they are taking BA under and as such won't even have jobs in the not too distant future. Besides, what they're actually striking about makes them look like complete muppets !

What is astounding is that whilst everybody else is expected to tighten their belts this handful of self centred muppets (they do not represent the majority of BA staff by any means) seem to feel that they have a case. I very much doubt that anybody outside of the strikers themselves has an iota of sympathy. The fact that they could find themselves (along with thousands of others) out of work and damn near unemployable (even Maccy D's have their limits) doesn't seem to have occured to them.

we have a booking in April with American Airlines, BUT when you look at the details, its a joint flight with BA...does that mean that the flight could be a BA one and if there are these strikes, we could be caught with it, or do you reckon AA will tell them to f*** right off and use their own planes?

Absolutely incredible, I just cannot fathom what planet these people are living on. This is my favourite bit;

"Unite has said the other issues covered in the ballot included the restoration of all earnings docked from crew members who were genuinely off sick during this year's strikes"

HAHAHA. If you are ill when you are already committed to going on strike, that is tough shit. The union want them to be paid for that?! Mental.

Codeshare, where is the flight to? Only one airline will operate it for sure, it just means there is a partnership between the airlines to open up more routes under 1 ticket.

And this is why I'll never fly with BA.

If you go into your booking online it should say who its operated by down the bottom

To confuse things, could be either! In the booking it should say 'Operated By' that will say who

It's hard to say as both airlines will have the same scheduled departure. I would suggest you contact AA for information.
