2. I am flying BA on 3 October and am really hoping that the strikes are over by then - based on your experience do you think it will be still ongoing?
Thanks!
1. i don't think there has been any announcement the strikes on 9/10 September are being cancelled - just the offer from BALPA that they would be prepared to do so if BA came back to the table, albeit BA's initial response has not been positive
2. the next date announced is 27 september. no further dates are announced. a strike on 27 september should not impact flights on 3 october, but it is impossible to say at this stage whether this dispute will go in to october or whether there will be further strike dates in october
