British Airways is warning of possible additional
cancellations this month as the carrier works to reach an agreement with its
pilots, who went on strike Monday for the first time in the carrier's history.
BA canceled nearly all its flights on Monday and Tuesday in advance of the British
Airline Pilots Association's planned strike related to the carrier's pay proposal.
The carrier said it "had no way of predicting how many [pilots] would come
to work or which aircraft they are qualified to fly." Another strike is
planned for Sept. 27, and BA said it would be in touch with passengers flying
around that date over the next few weeks if their flights are affected. No
other strikes are planned between those dates, and trade unions by law are
required to give 14 days' notice of industrial action, according to BA.
