The baby website is still displaying an extremely patronising message to the public by management.
bmibaby has today (16th August 2006) been advised by BALPA (British Airline Pilots’ Association) that 90 of bmibaby’s 189 pilot workforce have voted in favour of strike action. This represents 47% of the total bmibaby pilot workforce.
Given that less than 50% of bmibaby’s pilots voted for a strike
we welcome BALPA’s decision not to proceed with one.
BALPA have requested a meeting with us to attempt to find a way through the dispute and we are reflecting on that proposal.
bmibaby’s offer of negotiations for a multi year pay deal for 2007 onwards remains on the table and we remain hopeful that any industrial action can be avoided.
Customers are advised to make no changes to their travel plans. bmibaby have contingency plans in place to deal with any operational disruption and will keep customers advised of current information via this website.
I hope BALPA will now
demand the removal of this piece of drivel from the website, as it is wholly misleading and confusing for the public.
