This weekend, facing a four-day strike, BA has plans to operate 75 percent of their flights, a 25 percent increase from last weekend’s efforts. The beleaguered airline has made arrangements for 18 percent of its passengers to fly on other airlines.

This last weekend, British Airways flight attendants went on strike to protest … well, I’m not sure. But it was serious enough for them to sit out three days over the weekend and plan another four days at the end of this week. Last month Lufthansa pilots went on strike for a day. Greek and French air traffic controllers also joined the picket lines.

Holiday travelers dodged a bullet when a judge issued an injunction against a proposed British Airways strike last December. Unfortunately that bullet was reloaded and has come back with the British Airways cabin crew union (Unite), calling a strike again, this time in two parts, March 20-22 and March 27-31.
