British Airways’ pilots back revised pay offer to end strikes
British Airways’ pilots Monday voted to back a new deal on pay and terms, bringing one of the most damaging disputes in the airline’s history to a close. Pilots voted nearly 9 to 1 for the agreement, which included changes to working conditions, rostering and flight bonuses, and an inflation protection clause in addition to the pay rise over 3 years they had previously rejected. BA welcomed the vote, which it described as “good for our customers, our people and our business”. The agreement ends an extended period of industrial action at the airline and more than a year of talks as Balpa sought improvements to pay and conditions. In September the pilots went on strike for 48 hours, the biggest walkout in BA’s history. A total of 2,325 flights were cancelled and more than 280,000 passengers were thought to be affected. <br/>
