Re Unite's day 12 update, it says not only that quoted above, but also

Of the 333 flights BA said it was scheduled to operate today:
  • By 9am, 121 of these were cancelled - 20 of these are long haul and include flights to major and lucrative destinations including New York, Newark, Boston, Tel Aviv and Johannesburg.
  • 101 Eurofleet flights were also cancelled .
However, it is my understanding that BA have not cancelled any of the reduced schedule, and according to the other thread, some have been reinstated, ie the second flight to Hong Kong. I confirmed this on the BA website, it is up their available.

Also on the BA website, all the New York flights are going, and only 1 Newark is cancelled. 5 of the NY flights (incl Newark) have departed, the last 2 are still scheduled according to Flightstats.

Unite seem to be using the normal schedule as a comparative, not the strike one, and as far as New York (at least) is concerned, haven't even got that right.
