BA pilots vote in favour of strike action over key summer period
簡要內容:
英航駕駛員同意展開罷工行動,但目前並無明確的時間點,根據英國法律罷工似乎須在兩周前預告,因此目前最早可能的罷工時間是8/5號,8/5後搭乘英航的人可能要密切注意了!

The British Airline Pilots' Association (Balpa) said 93% of its members had voted in favour of industrial action.
The union said it did not yet have any dates for a potential strike, adding it hopes the dispute can be resolved.
A strike would be likely to cause severe disruption, as Balpa represents about 90% of the airline's pilots.
Pilots have rejected a pay increase worth 11.5% over three years, which the airline says is "fair and generous".
However, Balpa argues that its members deserve a better offer, as BA has been making healthy profits.
Balpa general secretary Brian Strutton said the strong result in favour of action showed "the resolve of BA pilots" and said BA "must table a sensible improved offer if a strike is to be averted".
"We do not wish to inconvenience our customers, which is why we have tried to resolve this matter through negotiation starting last November. It is BA who has regrettably chosen to drag this out into the summer months," he added.
