I'm supposed to be flying Heathrow - Hamburg on 19th Dec and back on 3rd Jan. Fortunately it won't be the end of the world if there is a delay but I do reckon this action is not going to create a lot of support for BA staff from the flying public. Or maybe it's a complete coincidence that they're striking at a time when people all over the world want to be with family and friends? Probably they didn't notice that Christmas comes right in the middle of the dates they've chosen. Maybe!
