We understand that BA has started cancelling its operations on the 27th of September today outside of the 14 day window to avoid having to compensate affected passengers.

BALPA set a gap between the first and second periods of strike action to give BA time to work with us to settle this dispute with their pilots.

We had today been exchanging new ideas to do that via ACAS and so it irresponsible and inconsiderate to its customers that BA has pulled out and decided to start canceling flights now, just to save money on compensation.

These two days of strike action have been a powerful demonstration of the strength of feeling of BA pilots who have been virtually 100% solid in supporting the strike.

We urge BA to get back to the negotiating table with some meaningful proposals to try to avert the next scheduled strike on 27th September.

Should BA refuse meaningful negotiations, further strike dates will be considered by the BALPA National Executive.

"Surely any reasonable employer would listen to such a clear message, stop threatening and bullying, and start working towards finding a solution"

A day of strike action will cost BA around £40m. Three days will cost in the region of £120m. The gap between BA’s position and BALPA’s position is about £5m. Our proposal remains on the table should BA wish to reach agreement prior to strike action.

#BAstrike
Over several days of ACAS talks BALPA put forward a number of packages that we believe would have resolved this dispute without a strike, and which we could have recommended to our members for acceptance prior to strike action.
