An alternative way to protest

It seems these cabin crew members of a bankrupt Spanish airline have found a novel way of protesting about their unpaid wages:

(Apparently this
isn't an April fool's joke)
If only we'd known they had hostesses like that perhaps more people [ok, blokes] would have flown with them and they wouldn't have gone bust!
Perhaps we could persuade the BA hostesses to do likewise rather than go on strike!

From my experience, that would not be something I would want to see! Could be worse, it could be American Airlines...

Haven't flown BA in 6 years, but you're probably right. I mostly tend to stick with Swiss or LH and rarely have any complaints about the experience

I'd say there is something to be said for those busts.

I gotta admit our FA's are a very diverse bunch...from very cute young ladies to men and women old enough to have several grandchildren.

But I love 'em all. They take good care of me when I fly.

The other day I was flying with a "senior" FA and the subject of what we do on our days off came up. I told him I fly for fun, and he told me he goes to funerals.
