Would you do that?

You're the moron, snaw.

People will avoid the 150 quid by flying short-haul to a European destination.. eg: Madrid, then long-haul eg: from Madrid to Brazil thus saving 150-40 = 110 quid !! Thus, lost business to BA as they will be 110 quid less competitive per long-haul flight. HMG simply have not thought this through, but that's not really a surprise is it !!

Then say that in the original post, rather than writing yet another piece of garbage.

Christ you're dumb.

I only needed to add the detail because you are thick and resort to insults because your brain is deficient. Most people would be aware of these impending taxes from the last budget which were well reported with their disadvantages in the press. :smug

I used to work for BA as a permie. They first offered the unpaid leave scheme after 9/11. I took 3 months unpaid leave then and bummed around far east for two months - which didn't cost much because they gave me a pair of free tickets. But i didn't have kids or a mortgage then. However, asking people to come to work and not get paid is taking the pi$$. BA dont pay that great anyway.

So did I between 1979 and 1982. I got bored with little work before privatisation as they were grossly overstaffed, but the money was not bad and of course cheap flights are a huge bonus. If you joined any of the social clubs as I did with chess ( went to Bangkok), tennis (went to Copenhagen) you were entitled to one free flight a year per club.

My neighbour is a BA engineer and I have not seen his car for about a month so I guess he may have taken the unpaid option and gone away with his family for a while. Good luck to him !!

Here's your original post:

I agree. I flew to Brazil in November with Iberia. I would have preferred to fly BA but they were much more expensive, and things will only get worse as our beloved HMG are adding approx 150 quid in taxes on long-haul and approx 40 quid on short-haul flights. This will encourage even more people to avoid British airlines. Labour have a lot to answer for !!

It's like having a debate with a plum pudding.

Thing is CB, I've called many things here, but dumb isn't one of them. For you on the other hand it's a daily statement of fact, made by numerous people, backed up by documentary evidence.

You're monumentally retarded. You make Jade Goody look like Stephen Fry. In fact that's insulting to Jade. Even the people who share your political persuasion are ashamed of you.

Can't you get a hint - stick to drooling over plane crashes and wanking off at the idea of someone losing their job/home and pls just fck off and stop bothering us.

I've no wish to debate with some idiot whose first response is to call somebody a moron. It just confirms the sheer ignorance of that person who cannot accept other people's well-informed opinions. It shows a lack of self-esteem on your part.

You've never displayed any evidence of having one of those.

No, it's just shows you're an idiot. Again. Repeatedly.

Of course he's an idiot, that's why so many people have him on their ignore lists.

Oh look, another nasty, vile thread in which people attack other people's opinions.

Seems par for the course these days on CUK.

It's not opinion though. It is fact that these people do not like because facts prove them wrong.
