Can anyone explain the logic in the timing of the series of strikes to start on Tuesday, why 5 days on followed by one day off, repeatedly. That is, if there is any logic! What is the benefit to the union and members of the intervening one day at work?
The intervening one days are useless to BA as the operation cannot be switched from partial to full and back to partial so quickly. So, 20 strike days effectively become 23 strike days of partial service, thus ensuring more losses for BA and more misery for passengers.
