Oh good! That means the taxiways in Barajas wont be clogged up with their childish taxi speeds.

Can they not include tuesday, wednesday and friday in their strike plans as well?

I'm amazed they haven't included Friday as well....
In Italy it was the classic way of 'organising' a 'long weekend'.

If you want the strike cancelled, ask for BALPA's assistance

It seems their main gripe is with outsourcing of flights between the Canary Islands and mainland Spain. Do we have people from Air Europa on the forum? Any inside information?

Can you explain that one........

Possibly a disgruntled Virgin pilot (with good reason to be I might add)

"If you want the strike cancelled, ask for BALPA's assistance"

Just a gentle way to say that BALPA was voted by the Guardian (to the delight of Whitehall) not so long ago, as the most complacent and spineless union in the UK!

What's new? They've been doing this for months?????
