BA pilots to strike on 9, 10 and 27 September in dispute over pay
British Airways pilots are to strike on 9, 10 and 27 September in a dispute over pay, the British Airline Pilots Association has said.
The three-day strike - the first by BA pilots - could cause severe disruption, as Balpa represents about 90% of the airline's pilots. The union said strikes were a"last resort" born out of"enormous frustration" with airline management.The union said BA rejected a"number of packages" that were proposed to resolve the pay dispute, and that there remains a gap of around £5m between the two sides' positions.
Pilots have rejected a pay increase worth 11.5% over three years, which the airline put forward in July and said was a"fair offer".BA said it is making changes to its flight schedule, adding that it will"do everything [it] can to get as many people away on their journeys as possible". "However, it is likely that many of our customers will not be able to travel and we will be offering refunds and rebookings for passengers booked on cancelled flights," it said.
