I don't read that most posters have been derogatory about the cabin crew, in fact they have received a fair amount of sympathy given that most of us would be the (unintended) victims of their strike action. The most common criticism seems to be that a) the OP was (naturally, no criticism intended) very one-sided and industrial relations are seldom quite so black-and-white and b) that a strike may ultimately harm BA and the job prospects of the crew more than it benefits them. As sane, rational, hardworking people who want to travel we also have a right to decide that BA is an unreliable travel partner and take our business elsewhere, either during this period of uncertainty or more permanently if we think this risk is embedded in BA (though I think few will really go that far).
