I understand British Airways’ desire to maximum their profit, but it’s particularly galling to face a zero tolerance policy from an airline whose actions have required rescuing their passengers for the better part of a year. Travel agents may just book away to avoid the thankless hassles next time.

At this point, the strike actions have gone on so long, that the dispute is no longer even about the original issues, which centered on reducing one flight attendant on some long-haul flights. It’s now mostly about British Airways making good on its threat to strip travel privileges from cabin crew who struck the first time.

At this point, British Airways’ labor dispute with their UNITE cabin crew union has almost degenerated into a line from the old song, “War, what are we fighting for? Don’t tell me I don’t give a damn…”

So the latest rounds of the British Airways cabin crew strike have been halted due to a court injunction. Is this really good news? Or is BA just sweeping a problem under the rug that will end up worse later.

After a strike in March that resulted in countless delayed and stranded passengers, not to mention a lot of worn out travel agents, and then the volcanic ash problems, everyone was hoping for a calm late spring and summer. Instead, it’s time to brace for more nightmares.

As the British Airways strike continues, the airline has decided to take a hard line with their passengers as well as the striking employees. Here’s one of many nasty examples.

As a British Airways strike appears increasingly likely to happen this weekend, an old axiom comes to mind “It could always be worse.” Travelers who have already scrambled to reschedule canceled flights might doubt that. Alas, it can get worse, and is likely, to get much worse.

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.
