BA pilots are striking because BA has broken the intent of the agreement. Intent is all important. BA took BALPA to a tribunal last year in order to change our holiday arrangements because they claimed the intent of the agreement allowed them to do so. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. The intent of Schedule K is to ensure BA flying is done by BA pilots. The current agreement only states the UK because that was the only place we could fly from. Now we can fly from the EEA and we want the agreement changed to reflect that.
