I'm flying on Saturday 28th. From stanstead. I'll be immensly fucked off if I can't fly. I have a customer who is high up in ba so might have a word and see wha gwan. Aparrantly gatwick won't be affected as not part of baa so may get a flight from there instead

Same here, though striking doesn't make much sense for me as I'm a contractor - it's pretty much the same as taking a day off.

Thought you'd get taken up to 21k (well rise's as normal upto 21k) if you are full time in the goverment sector but anything above that pay rise's have been frozen for 3years.
