the big dump we dont want !

After all the worring about snow in the resorts it has arrived Razz and looks like a good dump...
but now BA cabin crew are joining in and are about to dump on us big time. I think we have escaped the strike we fly on the 2nd Feb from Heathrow but that doesnt stop me being VERY ANNOYED and ANGRY...... Mad Mad
Okay we all have the odd sicky but 22 days average sick is a piss take...( sorry about the language.. ) Confused I feel for everyone who supposed to be travelling with then on the strike ...

agreed, rather unsupportive of those who have saved all year or their holliday, to have more worries!

re: the big dump we dont want !

We made the mistake of flying BA @ Xmas - remember the problems then with all the delay's/cancellations ??! Although we were not affected unduly, so many other poor people were - we normally fly Wizz from Luton and they had NO probs - we will not be flying BA ever again - if things go wrong they are affected big time as they have such a monopoly - I really feel so sorry for people booked on those flights next week - the only hope - they sort it out before and there must be a chance that that ...

Best of luck if you are affected.

heard on the radio that anyone who wanted to change flights etc. would be breach of contract and lose their money.

Insurance claims cant be made until the strike happens ( ie. tuesday), therefore to late for many and then they have to pay through the nose.

farcical

re: the big dump we dont want !

we were gona go with wizz air but bottle out in the end and went with the security of BA.. Guess that was the wrong move in hind site.... I suppose there wont be any altenative flights left.... Any one know how long it would take to drive there ??? pimp.

re: the big dump we dont want !

if its a charter using a BA plane , your ok.

They said that some tickets may come with BA logo, but it may be a subsiduary or a charter, if so, they wont be affected

re: the big dump we dont want !

i duno what we are on ... i suspect that its a scheduled flight not a charter as we booked thru BA directly and the flight goes all year round.. Sad

re: the big dump we dont want !

Wizz have been brilliant every time we've flown with them - 6 times in the past 12 months - Luton is a really great airport aswell - none of the hassles of Heathrow as it's so much smaller - we won't make the same mistake again !! Very Happy

Just reinforces the point again that price does not represnt quality or reliability
