British Airways cabin crew have begun their five day strike, which is expected to mainly affect Heathrow (60% of long-haul flights and 50% of short-haul flights will, in theory, operate during the strike).
The atmosphere at the talks over the weekend between Untie and British Airways management was somewhat soured when it was discovered that Derek Simpson, Unite's joint general secretary, was Tweeting the progress of the discussions live.
On Saturday, for reasons best known to themselves, Trotskyite demonstrators from the Socialist Workers Party stormed the talks and broke them up.
It is clear that this dispute will end badly for the management, the cabin crew and most especially the long suffering customers of BA.
