British Airways strike called off

The BA cabin crew strike due to start tomorrow Tuesday 30th January has been called off. I think that this last minute decision will mean that it will be a bit chaotic for BA travellers tomorrrow. Some flights that were cancelled are now back on, passengers are being advised to call BA on a freephone number or to go to the BA website. Have you been affected by this?

BA estimates that the threatened strike will has lead to a £80 million drop in revenue and their boss has apologised to passengers for the inconvience caused. Their profits are down 33% in the last quarter of 2006 due to factos such as fog and lost luggage.
