BA BA BLACK SHEEP HAVE YOU ANY CREW

Found this note in the SET's letterbox this morning - correspondence from a distant friend - which i thought I too would share with my faithfull followers

A thank-you note to Unite its members:

Contrary to many of the posts/comments on the BA cabin crew strike, I would actually like to extend my thanks to Unite and its Cabin Crew members. I will write personally to thank the Union in due course, but I thought that there would be no harm thanking them publicly. Originally my flights out to India were disrupted but once bitten twice shy.

Any unqualified school leaver could be a a member of the cabin crew, many could even muster a smile while they do it. Pilots now pay to train themselves, are highly skilled and highly educated. They take a huge burden of responsibility every time they step into a plane

Since the last strike I switched to Etihad the national airline of Abu Dhabi - and I honestly cannot believe my luck. Such service both at the airport and inflight, thoughtful staff and most important comfort.

Consequently, I shall not look back! I would never have discovered what I was missing out on were it not for Unite. Needless to say, my BA Executive Card will continue to gather dust and Etihad will have my continued custom for worldwide travel to see friends and family.  Just checking prices for flights to Mumbai online with a view to visiting my old curry munching buddy Apu Ape.

Thanks again BA for liberating my air travel.
