Just wondering how BA is managing crews down route
From my post 193 above ….
The afore-mentioned bloke in my pub who claims to be a striking BA pilot said his longhaul partner who left London on the 8th, ie who is not on strike, only found out after departure that the trip had been extended by two days. When they got to xxxx they found BA had already moved the NON STRIKING pilots into some lousy flop-house near the airport, while the cabin crew remained in the usual crew hotel.
He also said that as an actual striker, he found he had been ‘re-assigned’ a long trip which had already been cancelled, so they could take extra money off his September pay. We were moved to have a little whip-round for him.
