British Airways cabin crew have voted in favor of strike action starting from the 22nd December running to 2nd January.
I think that any organisation has the right to ballot and stage industrial action if they feel that staff are being undervalued or mistreated. However when it comes to three organisations, The London Underground, Royal Mail and British Airways I have no sympathy at all.
When the London Underground strike the whole of London comes to a complete standstill, when the Royal Mail strike no post can get through due to the simple fact that they are the only organisation carrying out their particular service.
British Airways are a dinosaur amongst airlines. They pride themselves on their “Excellent customer service” but in reality they are one of the least efficient, overpriced and poorly run airlines that I have ever flown with.
So the cabin staff have voted to strike simply because British Airways are cutting back their staff numbers.
Message to the Cabin Crew – Were still in recession it’s happening all over the world. Get over it and stop throwing your toys out of the pram.
Up to one million customers will be affected, and I am one of them. I now have to not only make alternative flight plans but also fly from another airport, all because of their mindless actions.
They may think that they have gained a moral victory over their employers but the real message is that you have ruined Christmas for families across the world.
I hope that the BA staff are proud of themselves.
Idiots.
