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! :lol:

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.

:lol: 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. :-O But I love 'em all. They take good care of me when I fly. :thumbsup: 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. :rofl:
