Come strike with me..

Today it emerged that the reason for BA CEO Willie Walsh not staying till the end of the Ball on Saturday was that he was catching a flight to Las Vegas On Sunday to mark to start of the Non-Stop direct service from the UK to the gambling capital of the world.

In his absense however, there seems to be trouble brewing with the Cabin Crew union. They were to ballot the 14,000 cabin crew on whether or not to take strike action.

BA Ballot

It seems as though Cabin Crew have more clout with the airlines than the Flight Crew which seems quite unfair..!

With BA to report another year of Losses, it is clear that there are quite a few things that need ironging out in the airline industry. Hopefully by the time I qualify, all of these problems will have alleviated themselves.

Given the current circumstances, Willie did serve up some very encouraging words to the newly graduated cadets at the ball; although he was not accepting CVs..
