BA To Face Strike
British Airways -- you know, the airline I generally love to hate -- may face a strike action. Apparently it will be the first official strike in like 10 years. Good job BA workers. I was about to book a flight on BA today, then another one later this week and a third after that. Now I'll seek alternatives. BA's such a bad airline usually, with delays, lost luggage (they're still finding stuff lost in last December's havoc), that entire caterer's strike that meant like no or little food for passengers. Then I think there's been like two or three unofficial walkouts over the past few years. All I know BA as an airline just gets more and more undependable. And the staff already generally sucks. They don't seem to like working for BA. They don't seem to like the passengers that pay their wages. I don't like either side in this, and I doubt either of them are going to gain anything from it. After everything BA has been through, a strike is just going to cost the airline further loyalty losses. Maybe that will freak out management enough to cave. I doubt it. They're both going to lose in this. I'm just glad Virgin is starting to fly direct to Chicago now. I continue to seek BA alternatives where I can, starting today.

OUCH! - The PR department over there must love you.
This is what I tell all my friends to do... Purchase the airline logo luggage straps, name tags, baseball caps, t-shirts and other logo merchandise, etc...
The ticket agents and other employees will assume you're a fellow employee or at least someone who knows who to call at the office. The baggage handlers might see the BA logo luggage strap and think twice about tossing your bag into the grease puddle.
How can a ticket agent deny boarding to the one guy wearing the "I Love BA" baseball cap & T-Shirt?
The only downside is that lost people at the airport will ask you for directions. On the plus side... If you're rude to them, they'll just blame the airline.
