“After many months of trying to resolve the pay dispute, we are extremely sorry that it has come to this.” BritishAirways Nigeria UK Britain
“After many months of trying to resolve the pay dispute, we are extremely sorry that it has come to this,” BA said in a statement.“Unfortunately, with no detail from BALPA on which pilots would strike, we had no way of predicting how many would come to work or which aircraft they are qualified to fly, so we had no option but to cancel nearly 100 percent of our flights”.
Pilots are to continue their strike on Tuesday and are threatening to strike for one more day on September 27 — and then possibly again closer to the winter holidays — should the dispute rage on. BA says the offer would see flight captains receive “world-class” pay and benefits of around £200,000 a year.
BALPA counters that co-pilots’ salaries average around £70,000 — and that of junior ones drops down to just £26,000.
