LONDON: British Airways pilots began a 48-hour strike on Monday , grounding most of the airline's flights and disrupting thousands of travelers' plans in unprecedented industrial action over a pay dispute.
BALPA has said that British Airways should share more of its profits with its pilots. BA has said the strike action is unjustifiable as its pay offer was fair. "This strike will have cost the company considerably more than the investment needed to settle this dispute," BALPA General Secretary Brian Strutton said in a statement on the eve of the strike."It is time to get back to the negotiating table and put together a serious offer that will end this dispute."
