An airline source told The Sun: “The disruption we have seen so far is nothing. The mega walkout would bring BA to its knees.”
In response, British Airways could call in 150 volunteer pilots to tackle the ten-day walkout.
Bosses will ask partner firms for the help to ensure flights are not grounded if the action goes ahead in November.
Pilots staged a two-day, walkout this week costing the airline £80million in lost revenue. Yesterday BA began cancelling flights hit by a new strike due on September 27.
Pilots union Balpa said the “inconsiderate” move was just to save on compensation.
Can anyone confirm this?
