TOMORROW'S FRONT PAGE: British Airways pilots are plotting a ten-day mega strike that would cost £400million and 'break' the airline.
An airline source told The Sun: “The disruption we have seen so far is nothing. The mega walkout would bring BA to its knees.”Bosses will ask partner firms for the help to ensure flights are not grounded if the action goes ahead in November.
BA has offered a pay rise of 11.5 per cent over three years but Balpa says captains want a bigger share of profits.But a source told The Sun: “There is real anger. Balpa wants to teach BA a lesson.”Can I get a refund or compensation if my flight has been cancelled? Alternatively, you can rebook your flight for another time in the next 355 days, or use the value of your fare to fly to a different destination.
Balpa have not thought this through. Many pilots are shareholders and rely on their pension so are shooting themselves in the foot.
