I have seen a couple of news items relating to this strike. Seems strange that only Buzz is mentioned. Do the press people on this site not know the KLM connection.
Trevoro some of us understand the situation I think the problem was that the Press Association story which ran on the wires the other day referred only to Buzz. PA feeds to just about every newsroom in the UK - most importantly the BBC - and sometimes oversights can get repeated. The disruption caused by a strike affecting KLMuk operations is much more significant from my point of view.

There was no vote on a split, and pilots did not vote in favour.
Herod there was no vote on a split, but pilots did vote in favour of strike action, did they not? Or is BALPA's own press release from Friday wrong?

ACAS talks tomorrow (Monday) may bring a solution; fingers crossed.
