British Airways

Back home after British Airways leaving Nairobi hours late, and American Airlines finally arriving in Madison about an hour late. I rarely seem to fly any more on the schedule that I book. A friend writes me the following:

If I were you I would avoid British Airways for a few years, at least. They seem to be having major labor issues that has been affecting their performance in all areas. They lost BOTH of my bags coming back from London and it has been 3 weeks of hell. I've since found out that they have a dump hole, literally, at Heathrow where thousands and thousands of bags are ending up and disappear forever because nobody is dealing with them! They ruined so many people's Christmas vacation in Sierra Leone when lots of people's bags failed to show up!

BA workers may go on strike tomorrow, and the airline already has canceled 1,300 flights to and from London airports for Tuesday and Wednesday. I'm just glad to be home before that.
