The fog will cause many more issues than the strikes. If Heathrow and Gatwick are reduced to this extent for more than a couple of days then hundreds of thousands of people's plans are affected. Hope it clears quickly

I'm in T5 lounge just now. Flight delayed 3 hours but at least it is not one of the cancelled flights 40-50% cancelled on the board earlier but most now flying.

Easyjet appear to use Menzies at Edinburgh rather than Swissport. But if that's the case then i can't understand why Easyjet don't just tell their customers that they don't use Swissport.

Firstly, didn't they know what they were going to be paid before they took the job and secondly, if they now don't like their pay, go and work somewhere else. Sack them. When I flew to the Isle of Man on the UK's smallest passenger plane I was put in charge of the emergency door and given a 30 second training session on it. Didn't need cabin crew at all!

They've now confirmed that Edinburgh shouldn't be impacted.

So a jet with 200 passengers on board doesn't need cabin crew either then ?

You know it makes sense.

Could probably cut down on the number of pilots too for short-haul flights😄

@martinm, good stuff, good luck with that !
@susieski, swissport has a small history of threatening strikes and then stepping down at the last minute. Worst case scenario in my opinion is, you will depart with no bags and they will turn up a few days later in resort, or you fly out Christmas Day. I wouldn't panic yet though and remember it's not Jet2/Crystal's fault.

@susieski, a decision isn't due to made until Tuesday as to whether the strike is actually going ahead or not, so its not surprising that you haven't heard anything from Crystal yet.
