Yet another strike thread (sorry), but FT'ers might be interested:
BBC has a have your say message board up on the BA strike. It is reactively moderated, so plenty of room for ranters. I must say, looking at the 'readers recommended' section, there's not a lot of sympathy for the CC.

I support BA. How can they have had an average of 22 days off sick?! Even 12 days is ridiculous, the union is having a laugh isn't it? Sack the workshy lot of them and employ people who want to work, not who think the world owes them a living, and are happy to cause misery to hundreds of thousands of innocent passengers.
