Whichever side you are on in the strike, BA (and us pax) need to offer a great big thank you to these folks, without their decision to work we would all be suffering considerably (and as a Southern commuter trust me I know what that feels like).
With VS taking over from DL on the SEA-LHR route, BA needs to beware as if you leave me high and dry in Seattle, the decision to fly with the great bearded one will be undertaken, if reluctantly. Rewarding those staff keeping the airline flying is an absolute imperative. How about giving them 11/8ths pay as 8 people did the work of 11 and BA's revenues were the same.
Well here is one example of a flight that came back yesterday with minimum crew.
You need to check your facts as other fleets have been coving MF flights.
