Mail for help.Help!!

Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

It would be helpful if press reports like that listed the routes that were staffed by Mixed Fleet cabin crew. Might save a lot of needless anxiety.

Apparently BA won't announce routes affected until Monday.

Anyone happen to know if a BA flight chartered by Crystalski from Dublin to Chambery is likely to be crewed by Mixed Fleet? Hope not Shocked

When I was looking to see if I was likely to be disrupted over Christmas/New Year I found this. Lists routes "thought" to be mixed fleet.

As it goes I was unaffected as they didn't strike over New Year, and they called off the Christmas action.

Unfortunately my 8am flight still got cancelled at 5am on NYE and I ended up having to drive instead.... And I'm still waiting the refund from those cretins at BA.

no Rob... The whole point of the press these days is to create needless anxiety.

@GlasgowCyclops, sadly that seems all too true. It seems to be the best way to generate clicks and the way they have decided to compete with social media for conspiracy theorists. Sad.

Thanks for this. Looks likely no disruption for European ski destination flights.

I have some knowledge of this. The following ski routes are not mixed fleet so shouldn't be affected.

Geneva, Milan (both airports), Zurich.

Those that are mixed fleet, Basel, Venice, Vienna

Anything out of Gatwick won't be affected.

Not sure about Innsbruck, Chambery, Salzburg or the charters. I can find out if anyone wants to know.

Last week the cancelled mainly Manchester flights and the odd rotation of routes served by multiple daily flight.

@zzz, Toulouse? I don't think it's Mixed Fleet, but confirmation of that would be helpful.

Thanks, would be interested re charters from Chambery. Though I think it will only be flights out of Heathrow that are affected?

Ps. BA like to look after their Charter companies so I'd be surprised if they didn't crew them.

Where in the US? Not all will be MF.

EG Singapore is MF but only the flight that comes form Australia. Eg 22.45 and not the 23.30 so although the route is MF not all flights going there will be MF.

Unfortunately Houston which is is MF according to a previous list. Perhaps I should try plan B and persuade my employer to allow me to fly out a few days earlier via Dever Little Angel
