Whilst I'm glad they seem to be negotiating, it does leave everyone hanging!

Fantastic news! That should mean we are safe for our outgoing flight!

I honestly think that if they do plan to strike they'll target BH weekend for maximum disruption.

Yes, we are in the clear too, well, for our outbound at least. Relieved for us, but i know the stress for those flying the week after us will now be building. Really hope it gets resolved fully soon and all can get back to happier holiday thoughts!

We are ok for going out, as is the rest of our party now, but coming back remains to be sen

You would hope that after 2 and half days of talks and plans to resume on Monday that some progress is being made and there is at least some hope of resolution...or maybe thats just me being ever the optimist

Well, half relieved at least although I agree they will go for bank holiday weekend to impact the most. Heathrow strikes due to be that weekend so they might avoid that due to not wanting to get lost in the number of strikes.

Glad they still think there is something to negotiate about but what on earth have they been talking about? I agree with other dibber who said the catering must be good...

It's their 100th birthday that weekend too. Aug 25th. Day I fly 😫

I really hope all this 'talking' means that they are working towards a resolution. I am finding it so hard to be excited for our trip now and am holding off booking our mnsshp untill i know for sure our flight will go ahead as dont want to potentially waste any more money.
