60% Of BA Flights To Operate During Strike
British Airways (BA) has announced that approximately 60% of all of its flights will still be operating during the two strike periods. However, of these, only 30% of short haul services will be operating.
All long-haul flights to and from Gatwick Airport will be operating.
Full schedules have already been announced for the first days of the strike, covering March 20th, 21st and 22nd. However, BA has not yet announced any plans for the second strike period between March 27th and 30th.

Destroying The Brand - Strike
Unite and BA management continue to do their best to destroy the BA brand.
The BA cabin crew strike will go ahead, for three days from 20 March and for four days from 27 March.
Unite state that they will not strike over Easter. However, they warn that there may be more strikes after 14 April.
No company lasts forever, the union and management of BA would do well to remember that.

Some Free Advice
Speaking as a long suffering customer of BA, I would like to "gently" remind both Unite and the management of BA that you would be well advised to settle your ongoing and tedious dispute without causing disruption to services.
There is no guarantee, under present economic conditions, that BA will actually be around in a year's time.

Another Strike Ballot
The BA staff union (Unite) has announced that it will ballot British Airways cabin crew again on possible strike action.
The outcome, this time, is not so clear cut.
It is evident (see previous article on this site) that not all members who voted for strike action before Christmas were happy that the strike proposed post ballot by Untie was to last 12 days over Christmas.
