MSE News: British Airways strike threat - should you book BA?

SG_Guy

It's the mere threat of strikes that is very off-putting and the huge amount of uncertainty these create quite apart from whether they actually go ahead or not. Besides, with far superior airlines such as Singapore Airlines and Cathay Pacific, BA is a complete non-starter and an increasingly anachronistic business proposition. The cabin service in both business and economy is pretty standard; nothing to shout about, so can never understand why the cabin crew think the service is great. On most flights, the crew seem to treat passengers in way that is at best impersonal and at worst contemptuous.

Except (for the most part) they don't fly on the same routes as BA.

Well Ive booked with BA for my flights just to London as they were cheaper than Ryanair and Easy jet.
