logo_baa.gifThe British Airline Pilot’s Association, (BALPA), has said that it will not strike during one of the busiest times of the year as its argument is with British Airways and not the general public.

The two sides have yet to come to an agreement over their dispute. Discussions are currently on hold.

BA Pilots are voting to strike as they claim that BA will employ lower-paid staff for the new Open Skies scheme.

ThePilot’s are only fighting for the well-being of their families and their careers. Without the pilot’s, BA would be no where.

British Airways have warned that if strike dates are issued, a court injunction would be issued to prevent the pilots taking this action.
