The planned strikes by British Airways staff is aimed at doing the most disruption as possible at Christmas. Londoners were beginning to leave tonight for warmer climates and then to hear this news.
The strike vote was supposedly supported by ninety two percent of those who did vote.
The strike will cause financial losses to British Airways at a time when the airline is losing money.
There seems to be a trend amongst the staff to go on strike, when to do so might bankrupt their employer.
