British Airways pilots began a large-scale strike on Monday (9). At present, more than 1500 flights have been cancelled, and the travel of 280000 passengers will be affected. At the same time, the strike will cause a loss of up to 80 million British pounds (about 700 million yuan) to British Airways.
British Airways said on the 8th that it apologized to passengers for the inconvenience caused by flight cancellation and provided passengers with a full refund. In addition, the airline reminded passengers whose flights were cancelled 'not to go to the airport'.
British Airways and the British Civil Aviation Pilots Association (balpa) have a dispute over the pilot salary increase. Ba said it would raise 11.5% within three years, but the British Civil Aviation Pilots Association believes that with the company's current financial situation, pilots should get a greater share of profits, otherwise they will have the right to strike.
Brian middot, Secretary General of the British Civil Aviation Pilots Association; Stern said, 'BA must meet the needs of its employees and passengers to ensure that pilots are not bullied.'
British Airways threatened that their travel allowance would be cancelled if employees chose to strike.
The British Civil Aviation Pilots Association denounced the airline's practice as "illogical and irresponsible" and "will further deepen the differences with pilots".
It is understood that due to dissatisfaction with the salary plan proposed by British Airways, the British Civil Aviation Pilots Association announced in August this year that pilots would launch a strike on September 9, 10 and 27.
