Business travel to and from the UK is being disrupted this Monday by strike action initiated by the pilots' union, BALPA (British Airline Pilots Association): a first in the history of the company, which celebrated its 100th anniversary at the end of August... Traffic on British Airways is severely affected, even paralysed. " Unfortunately, as BALPA had not provided details of the pilots who would be on strike, we had no way of predicting how many of them would come to work or on which aircraft they were qualified to fly, so we had no choice but tocancel almost 100% of our flights "said the company in a press release. The strike is due to continue on 10 SeptemberA new day of action is also planned for 27 September next.
