Share prices talk, hopefully if IAG has a run, on no rns, perhaps news leaked, always someone knows more than you.Just have to keep a eye on the shareprice. A lot of investors holding off, until Balpa confirm ya or na on Xmas strikes.

cyberian....Interesting to note, that the QC representing Royal mail was the same one used by BA. Bruce Carr QC

615p when Balpa news if good. Brexit looking good has well for IAG.Dividend ex div 28th November paid 4 days later.

Thomas Cook was a game changer, even the young militant pilots at the BA arm of Balpa could not go ahead with last strike in September.BA being tough offered 11.5% again but won't reinstate travel perks until next September according to the press.Pilots have overplayed their hand.

To be quite honest I was getting a little worried that I would not receive Monty's Xmas card...!

Royal Mail wins court case against the Union..just announced, and quite some relief...there has to be an improved way to sort these disputes out in critical areas. There is too much damage/cost plus inconvenience to many people in key sectors like travel etc. It can be heart-breaking for some and the post Union appear to have conducted their procedures in an unacceptable way, and the Court has agreed. I wish the Government would bring some sense to the RMT asap. Anyway people can now execute their postal votes and exchange gifts for Christmas which is a good thing.

Volume lowest I have seen, all waiting for Balpa press release, hopefully saying pilots settling with BA.Then take off to 615p, in the meantime collect dividend ex 28th November paid 4 days later. While we wait.

Where is the resident ramper today I suspect he's out campaigning with his Tory party chums .

Did 5 trades in ISA in last 7 trading days, up 8% in total, and price remains below my top sell price.

All on 4000 shares. ALSO watching WPP

[cyberian] 13/11/2019 11:28

demo....well done so far, but hey "won't you stay just a little bit longer", as 600p beckons, maybe?

[demo trader] 13/11/2019 09:00

IN at 535.5p ....for 540p+, if not today then will keep it in ISA

[montyhedge] 13/11/2019 08:03

Whizz Air good figures today.

[m1k3y1] 12/11/2019 18:40

Agreed toon but sadly they don't always ....

[toon1966] 12/11/2019 18:31

Agree. Bullying and intimidation are not nice and those who do should get what they deserve.

[m1k3y1] 12/11/2019 18:21

It was a nasty time toon. Reps getting sacked as well as non Reps.
Sad times.
I think if they want to sack you they will and deal with the legal consequences afterwards.
Chances of getting your job back , in any event, will be minimal.

[toon1966] 12/11/2019 18:08

m1k3y1 - during the 2010 dispute there were a number of suspensions and dismissals. But these were not purely down to going on strike were they? Suspect there were other issues??

[m1k3y1] 12/11/2019 17:41

Agreed toon, unfortunately some Unions are not as adept at advising their members of the full implications, as others.

I am sure BALPA is not in this category .

[montyhedge] 12/11/2019 17:40

If this articles right, travel perks taken away and won't be reinstated until next September, BA being tough, unless it's a trump card to give back to pilots has a peace offering.https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/10262941/british-airways-christmas-strikes-called-off/amp/

[m1k3y1] 12/11/2019 17:17

toon.......This does not prevent the employer from taking action against them, short of dismissal. i.e removing staff travel etc.

In the dispute of 2010, there were a number of dismissals which the Tribunals upheld.

[toon1966] 12/11/2019 17:03

Let's be clear one of the functions of BALPA (or any other Union) is to advise their members of the implications of taking strike action. Financial implications would certainly be one.

[cyberian] 12/11/2019 16:55

......agree, but I think that they will be subject to penalties if they do strike....that could hurt them at a critical time as everyone burns the cash up to the Y/E, and check their spending/penance in January.

[toon1966] 12/11/2019 16:51

Just to remind everyone that the BA pilots industrial action is legal and so they cannot be sacked.

[montyhedge] 12/11/2019 16:40

cyberian
Yes young guns at the BA arm of BALPA, BAAC, will have to back off, they overplayed their hand. Put it to a ballot to accept perhaps, older pilots and Strutton could persuade them to accept the offer, they won't get a better deal. TC was a game changer for pilots. Once they accept I see 615p tested, if Xmas strikes of course 495p. They are greedy but not stupid.

[cyberian] 12/11/2019 16:23

Agree, but please give BALPA a bit of space...they have a few young die-hard pilots on a sensitive committee who are trying to show their teeth. I have met a few very young pilots...really nice and they seem very happy with BA...a couple even graduated from EasyJet, and Ryan Air as they saw better prospects for advancement at BA. All the best...and whoa! glad I have resisted trading any shares...hope I am not proved wrong.

[montyhedge] 12/11/2019 15:39

When Balpa say recommend offer, these will be 615p with the dividend 28th November paid 4 days later.Come on Balpa you have overplayed your hand.Glut of pilots it seems.
