thursday 1 Posted December 19, 2009 Author Share Posted December 19, 2009 But it aint all bad. Their loyal customers can have another bowt of anguish in Feb. And they can spend dough for backup airline seats again too. Link to post Share on other sites

grungy-gonads 54 Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 This is interesting http://women.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/women/article6960177.ece Even today, the grooming rules for trolley dollies can seem bizarre. Long hair must be tied back, only certain colours of certain brands of make-up are permitted and products must be plastered on because eyes and lips must be visible from six rows back. Jewellery is kept to a minimum and forearms have to be hairless, bleached or waxed at all times. Weight is watched and anyone chubbing up over the Atlantic is told discreetly to lose a few pounds (although no airline would admit to such a sexist, lookist policy). Obviously not on BA!!!

thursday 1 Posted December 19, 2009 Author Share Posted December 19, 2009 hell no. They have a "lets get fatter" conspiracy so they can carry fewer passengers per flight, thus less worc do do. Fat cows. Link to post Share on other sites

muikabochi 208 Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 They're determined to do it.... British Airways is facing the threat of an Easter strike by cabin crew after the trade union, Unite, announced a fresh ballot on industrial action. Link to post Share on other sites

thursday 1 Posted January 20, 2010 Author Share Posted January 20, 2010 I thought they wanted to do it in Feb. Probably not disruptive enough hence they chose Easter. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted February 23, 2010 Author Share Posted February 23, 2010 Quote: Customers will be able to rebook, free of charge and subject to availability, onto other British Airways flights outside of the strike period for up to 355 days from the original date of travel. Refunds will only be available if flights are actually cancelled or if the original booking conditions allow. For further information, please refer to British Airways ’s website. oh dear, I hope people's travel plans are felxible enough to accomodate BA or you'll get no refund.

BagOfCrisps 24 Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Hope you can avoid hassle, pie-eater. From what I gather your Tokyo flight will probably be ok, it's the shuttle up to Manc that will be a problem. Link to post Share on other sites

grungy-gonads 54 Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 I think most people just think that BA are a bit/lot of a joke. Link to post Share on other sites
dale#1 1 Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Hey I wonder if you reschedule for another day 'within 355 days', do you pay extra for the extra chage for busier times or do you get any day Link to post Share on other sites

thursday 1 Posted February 25, 2010 Author Share Posted February 25, 2010 just makes you wonder how people can put up with this shit just for national pride. Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 I think you're wrong thursday. Who gives a shit about national pride? I don't know anyone who feels that way esp. over BA!!!! The reason I use them is because it is the most convenient and cheapest connection to Manchester from Japan. Simple as. Link to post Share on other sites

pie-eater 207 Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 OK. But do people really feel national pride over BA? From what I can gather, everyone just thinks they are a joke. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted February 25, 2010 Author Share Posted February 25, 2010 There are. Especially those corporate **** heads who fly over from the UK insisting first class BA even though they're not a prefered carrier for our bank. Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Right ok. There will be some exceptions of course but generally I would say that there is close to no national pride about British Airways. Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Looks like BA strike dates to be set today. I wonder if my return date will be on of the 'lucky' ones. Link to post Share on other sites
