Looks as though it's BA's turn now.

This makes me really want to go on a rant about the bloody policy that started this mess in the first place but I shall restrict myself to the topic in hand. Is it not enough that the Open Skies policy is trying to break BA's dominance at LHR that the pilots are having a go as well[?]

Breaking on Sky News at the moment:

BA Pilots vote to strike.

Not up online yet from searches I have done.

What makes me think BA will have to listen to the pilots?

Balpa, which represents 3,000 BA pilots, says 86% voted to strike. Turnout was 90%.

But it's not summer yet, BA is not allowed to strike until the summer holidays...

Lets also not forget the big PR one that's due in a few weeks - the opening of T5 at LHR [:w]

As Easter falls early this year, many schools are only out for the weekend and defereing the Break until mid April.

Do you think the pilots will move the dates when they realise[n]
