British Airways pilots will be among highest paid ever to strike if they go ahead with crippling action
British Airways pilots would be among the highest paid workers ever to strike if they go through with plans to stage a crippling walkout in the heart of the summer holidays, insisting that a GBP20,000 pay rise over 3 years is not enough. Proposed industrial action by pilots union Balpa could see more than 4,000 pilots strike at the heart of the summer holiday, paralysing the carrier and causing misery for tens of thousands of passengers a day. BA, whose captains earn an average of GBP167,000, has offered an above-inflation deal worth 11.5% over 3 years but pilots are demanding a bigger cut of the company’s profits. If agreement cannot be reached Friday, strikes could begin Aug 17, as the union is required to give two weeks’ notice of any action. <br/>
