pie-eater 207 Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Guardian has this. The earliest they could strike if they had gone ahead was 3rd August, so anything will be after that now. --- The Unite trade union is to postpone a strike ballot of British Airways cabin crew after receiving a peace offer from the airline, it was revealed today. The Unite joint general secretary, Tony Woodley, told the Guardian it would be "suicide" to push ahead with a poll without allowing 11,000 flight attendants to consider the proposal. The move means it is unlikely that BA passengers will see their summer travel plans disrupted. "Not to consult our members on this final offer would be suicide," Woodley said. "And to do that, we have to postpone our ballot. "As a consequence of the company's last and final offer, the union and its representatives will have no choice but to delay our vote in order to allow our members to consult the offer. The company has made it clear that the offer on the table will be removed if the strike ballot starts on Tuesday." Link to post Share on other sites

HelperElfMissy 42 Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 blurry stupid fkn computer!(or customer service policy...) I hate this. Why can't they understand that a married couple using joint credit cards are really just one and the same! I had similar when I reported my credit card lost...I had to explain part and then pass the phone over to Papa to do the rest because he is the primary card holder. DUMB.

best skier in hakuba 5 Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Just for arguments sake, what if you were separated or divorced and fighting... one could really mess the others plans up if they were vindictive enough. Link to post Share on other sites
HelperElfMissy 42 Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Maybe in the situation of an ongoing feud while still married you should consider separate credit cards. One of the first things separated and divorcing couple do is separate their finances - so they would be operating on separate cards also. A joint card implies joint consent to run/manage and spend the funds - therefore that implied consent should be transferred to bookings made with a joint card. If I had a vindictive and nasty partner I sure as heck wouldn't be using a joint card so he could see every single purchase I made!! But yes. I understand that is the reason why they deal with ONLY the one person. But Jeez Louise - oh for a bit of common sense! Link to post Share on other sites
best skier in hakuba 5 Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 What happens if you booked the flight 6 months ago with the joint card, but since then you had separated? Even if you don't have a joint card now, the one you made the booking with was. It can easily happen. Link to post Share on other sites
Tex 3 Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Its a one way street - they will have no problems for you MAKING a booking FOR someone else and even paying for it with someelses credit card because they recieve a benifit. When you take away their benifit.... need to speak with the actual person. Link to post Share on other sites
