The specter earlier this year of cabin crew strikes, though eventually averted, triggered mass passenger cancellations and diluted the airline's results. Operating profit in the year to April slid 13%. The airline insists it's not been helped by tough security measures still in place at U.K. airports, where passengers are limited to one item of hand luggage and have to put ointments and liquids in clear plastic bags.

This morning, no doubt, you were up at dawn awaiting the envelope to be slid under your door. Your unwavering dedication kept you up after last night’s river run despite the fact that you have a paper due today. (Don’t worry. Expos only gives Bs.) Perhaps you were sleeping—a bad move since you can’t hope while you sleep. But today is the day that will forever...
