He owes everything to the staff who worked during the strikes, those who kept some of the operation intact for our CUSTOMERS.
BA did not know in the first couple of strikes, the amount of cc who would defy BASSA and turn up for work, hence the large number of planned cancellations.
ln the event approx 60% who were rostered for trips (cancelled or not) on the IA days, reported for work.
One would expect even more next time. Only 70% are needed together with volunteers to fly all booked pax, there would be some consolidation ie cancellations of trips but all pax carried.
The ongoing extra flights for stranded pax crewed mainly by volunteers, shows how well BA are prepared for potential further IA disruption.
