This article is a summary of the article “British Airways Cancels Almost All Flights Over Pilot Strike” by Amie Tsang for the New York Times. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/09/business/british-airways-cancellations.html?action=click&module=Top%20Stories&pgtype=Homepage
Pilot strikes caused British Airways to cancel the majority of flights on the 8th and 9th of September. The British Airline Pilots’ Association is vying for more pay, even after the airline offered raises that it said would increase a pilot’s salary to £200,000 a year, roughly $246,551 in the United States of America. The airport seems to have confused the cancelations, they called off flights on another day, mistakenly expecting a strike, and contacted customers. Then, realizing their mistake, there was an outbreak from angry ticketholders who had made other plans. The British Airline Pilots’ Association has voted for another strike if the pay problem isn’t resolved by the date set.
