Right at the start he is about to call the Unite Union ..... then changes his wording haha.
Thoughts on the strike?

I hate the CEO of RyanAir but what he has said about Unite is very true. They are basically striking for nothing really, they rejected to even look at BA's accounts. The union is a joke and the leaders need to have some common sense, funny how it is mostly Heathrow cabin crew who are striking because Unite accepted the deal at deal @ Gatwick but won't accept it at Heathrow. Why not? It's the same bloody deal. They want to work but they strike and making BA lose money and it costs them a lot during strikes.

i know this sounds terribly bad, but surely these people should feel lucky that they even have jobs at the moment, especially in a sector badly hit by the recession. i'm sure there are plenty of other who'd love to be in their shoes at the moment.

If they keep this up they'll end up redundant and if they do they'll totally deserve it.

BA cabin crew are already paid a lot more than any rival staff. Militant unions at work again but this time with no Thatcher waiting in the wings.

British Airways cabin crew who took part in the Unite union's three-day strike will forfeit their travel perks permanently, the company has confirmed.
Staff are eligible for free and heavily discounted flights, depending on how long they have worked for BA.
Unite condemned the move, confirmed in a letter to strikers, as "vindictive" and said it would challenge it.
Meanwhile, the UK Supreme Court has sent a dispute over BA pilots' holiday pay to the European Court of Justice.
The striking staff had been warned by BA's chief executive Willie Walsh before they took part in the action on Saturday, Sunday and Monday that they were at risk of losing the perks.
Hundreds of crew members are believed to be affected.

Haha nice one BA. It's all part of working for an airline getting the perks of heavily discounted flights on their airline and other ones. That's easily worth thousands of pounds, shame on them for striking!

Finally, I'm sick of these ungrateful slobs who not only have a job, but a well paid job, better paid than people employed to do the same job as them by other companies. Hopefully this will teach them a lesson.
