On chatting to them later on, they are clearly irritated by those striking, and it was very endearing to hear that yes, they care about the customer, they care about the job, and they believe striking to this level only loses business.
I must say it was possibly the nicest crew, very business and customer minded, that I have come across in mixed fleet.
So thank you cabin crew. Those of you at work at the moment, you're keeping business with BA.
Maybe if they put as much effort in supporting their colleagues than criticising them then there would be better team spirit in BA. I still think cabin crew shouldn't be crossing picket lines. Of course there is nothing to stop them doing so, but morally it's wrong! I have never crossed a picket line even when it isn't myself personally being asked to strike/having been balloted.
