Virgin have better prices although Im loyal to Emirates. BA have lost the plot ...... EK are the better but having put their prices up in March they are not the cheapest option around. KLM have some good fares.

It is a sad day when people vote to strike in this present climate. Like another OP has said, I've a friend who works for BA who is ground staff here in Dubai and she has been training for months in case there is a strike.

What a coincidence!! I just got an email that BA is having a seat sale. NOT a coincidence me thinks as I just read about the strike action on Sky News then got the BA email. Hopefully not too many people get sucked in by the seat sale then have strike action hit them.

Yeah the striking staff are ungrateful morons, but if they do go on strike again then I'm afraid to say I won't have any sympathy for the passengers affected. People should know by now that BA are to risky fly with because of the constant strike action/threats!

BA have trained up hundreds of non operational staff to step in as cabin crew for longhaul operations. Its always shorthaul operations that will suffer if the strike goes ahead :(

Also they are in the Daily Mail Uk paper for making people give up their seats, thrown off the plane etc because Gordon Brown and entourage boarded at Abu Dhabi. Disgusting. They will never get my money.

These silly staff are going to send BA under. They should sack the lot of them and give the jobs to people who actually want to work.

If there was ever a way to make company bankrupt and for them all to lose their jobs ... carry on BA crew, I think youre all idiots, be grateful you have a job, discuss through your unions like adults, and if you dont like it go get another job - quick now, cos when BA crumples there wont be enough jobs around for you all......
