British Airways Strike
At their busiest time of the year, a three day British Airways walkout has forced BA to cancel thousands of flights. The strike is protesting a pay freeze in 2010, a switch to part-time work for 3,000 staff and a reduction in cabin crew sizes from 15 to 14.

On the British Airways site, an announcement is posted, “Unite, the trade union that represents the majority of British Airways (BA) cabin crew, has announced its intention to take strike action from 20 to 22 March and 27 to 30 March 2010” and a list of cancellations is published.
