Well Done Lads!

The Telegraph reports that BA passengers flying over the Atlantic reacted in horror when a recorded message told them on two occasions that their plane could be about to crash.

Cabin staff quickly reassured passengers that the message had been played by accident.

The British Airways flight was halfway between Miami and Heathrow when the message was played by accident at about 3am.

Hug A Pilot

Under the "Hug A Pilot" edict, BA managment had ordered cabin crew to socialise more with pilots in an effort to boost morale.

I wonder if this is what they meant though?

Executive Club Becomes Avios

Kudos to BA for its proposed change to the Executive Club Scheme, whereby as from 16th November it will be part of Avios.

According to a report on Citywire, if you are a BA Executive Scheme member the change is a massive thumbs up.

Well done BA!!

Strike Finally Over

The seemingly intractable 18 months dispute between Unite and BA finally ended last week.

Needless to say, both sides claim victory.

Rebuilding The Brand

Keith Williams, the new CEO of BA, has admitted that the BA brand has taken something of a hit as a result of the seemingly never ending dispute between BA and Unite.

He is quoted by the Guardian:

"One of the things we need to do is rebuild the brand image which inevitably suffers during a protracted dispute."

He is of the view that customer service did not suffer during the dispute, citing the fact that customers have not deserted BA.

Perhaps one reason why the customers have not deserted is not due to BA's punctuality record, its lost baggage record or its customer service but possibly due to the fact that on many international routes there is little choice but BA for travellers wanting to fly direct to/from London.

BA Strike Update - Deal Reached

It seems that Unite and BA management have come up with a solution to the seemingly never ending cabin crew dispute that has caused travel disruption and untold damage to BA's brand over the last two years.

The FT reports that the agreement will be put to Unite's 10,000 cabin crew members in a ballot, with a recommendation to accept.

The ballot will start next week with the result due by the end of June.
