Clearly Monty being a Tory hasn't read the rules regarding taking lawful industrial action not in touch with the general life of a British worker

Another reason BA pilots won't strike, Ryanair told some pilots to take unpaid leave, lol his great O'Leary, seems a glut of pilots.BA pilots may be greedy, but they are not stupid.https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/ryanair-latest-pilots-job-cuts-thomas-cook-news-oleary-a9121251.html%3famp

They won't strike why do you think they called of the last strike day in September. Thomas Cook pilots waiting to take their jobs.

Too scared to trade even some extra shares I hold outside my main holding as a BALPA settlement and valuable Divi not too far away could see a sudden jump in the share price A pre-Christmas strike would be suicide for the pilots, and damage their employer name, and thereby themselves, with a deal on the table which looks increasingly fair against current uncertainties in the aviation sector as a whole. The pilots are not stupid and will have taken this on board...they can see the investment happening with Air France, and BA have to remain competitive. By the way I liked the analogy of always filing up with petrol/electricity to the limit...the BBC program mentioned a few more important factors other than BA over-loading fuel. Time and price is also important to me.

Come on Balpa where's a press release, so we can get back to 615p before Xmas, including dividend ex 28th November paid 4 days later.

Farage has clearly sold his principles for a peerage LOL.

All good here Monty, buy those dips, Boris landslide coming up, arise Sir Nigel and all that + much higher £ big boost here on the way.

Same for (FOXT), creeping up again, solid GE recovery play, no debt a big +

[m1k3y1] 12/11/2019 10:50

I really don't know what they are trying to achieve now. Even BALPA want to agree a deal, if the DM is correct.
No doubt they are waiting to see if the Royal Mail win or lose their Injunction.
Pilots could be out on their own, if BALPA don't think any more can be achieved.

[montyhedge] 12/11/2019 10:34

Pilots have bottled it, overplayed their hand, glut of pilots, how many from TC looking for a job, thats the reason Balpa called off September strike.

Come on Balpa release a press statement, hope the Daily Mail and The Sun correct, lol.

[m1k3y1] 12/11/2019 10:06

Penalties ....what do you expect, when you cost a company 120m !
There won't be a Christmas strike.

[applepieinthesky] 12/11/2019 09:51

Looking more like 475p when BALPA announce a week shutdown pilots are not going accept this offer put forward it's the old offer but with penalties. Christmas is coming

[montyhedge] 12/11/2019 09:41

Should be a press release shortly from Balpa if Daily Mail correct,then 595p no problem boys.https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7641543/amp/Pilot-strike-planned-hit-British-Airways-10-days-Christmas-CALLED-OFF.html

bookbroker...no disagreement there !!!

[applepieinthesky] 12/11/2019 08:32

Monty was that with your Ladyboy friend you traveled First Class

[montyhedge] 12/11/2019 08:17

It's ok, dropped someone off at Terminal 3 last week, what a traffic nightmare. To own all the Terminal 5 for BA, is great, all business people love T5 for the ease of traffic and facilities.I flown first class this year from their, lounge is great, BA service etc, superb.

[bookbroker] 12/11/2019 08:11

Monty - it is not the terminal hassle that is the problem, it is actually getting to the terminal via the M25 that is the hassle!

[montyhedge] 12/11/2019 08:10

28th November ex div boys, paid 4 days later.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/travel/travel_news/article-7672095/Heathrow-passenger-numbers-boosted-Rugby-World-Cup.htmlBA Terminal was voted best Terminal by passengers. It is good, not even drop off charges, unlike other U.K airports.

[montyhedge] 12/11/2019 07:50

Tell that to a veggie climate protester, lol.

[bookbroker] 12/11/2019 07:40

Argument between cows and planes, we need cows more than planes, less of this flying for a few quid, travellers should pay a far higher green tax for flying than paying through the nose for eating meat and dairy. Frankly I’d rather enjoy yoghurt, cheese, some beef, plenty of milk than travel cattle class to Majorca!

[montyhedge] 12/11/2019 07:34

Looks passengers growing. Record at Heathrow.https://www.dailymail.co.uk/travel/travel_news/article-7672095/Heathrow-passenger-numbers-boosted-Rugby-World-Cup.html

Yes shoot every cow, cows farting worst than airlines for the environment. Especially if your a veggie climate protestor.https://m.traveller24.com/Explore/Green/are-cow-farts-or-airplanes-worse-for-the-environment-20190430

Before we all jump on this bandwagon. Answer this question. Do we fill up our cars for just a single journey, or do we all load up ' tanking' for a weeks worth of journeys. It's called being efficient with our time and money. It's called running a business. Perhaps, just perhaps if India and China can stop increasing their reliance on fossil fuels,then this planet has a chance. Morning all

Another example of corporate greed before thinking about the environment.BBC News - Climate change: British Airways reviews 'fuel-tankering' over climate concernshttps://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-50365362
