Millions of British Airways passengers are facing Easter holiday chaos after militant union leaders announced a 'cynical' series of crippling strikes. Gordon Brown - who failed to condemn the walkouts - was under growing pressure over his links to the unions that bankroll the Labour Party. BA cabin crew will stage a three-day walkout on March 20, 21 and 22, followed by a four-day strike between March 27 and March 30 and more in April.

Dolts. They have solid jobs and yet they demand more; out of this economy no less.

Thankful I booked my flights during that time with an airline well outside the BA & partners realm.

A pity but I try to book my flights carefully to avoid trouble. If only I could avoid KLM Cityhopper and its truly wretched on-time record, life (in flight) might be good.

When an economy goes bad, regular workers save.

Unions squeeze.
