Because BA has no available trainers. The training department is maxed out and cant cope. BA was trying to persuade a number of trainers who are part time,50 or70% rosters to do 3 months 100% at the time of the strikes. Then they got nasty with them so they all stuck 2 fingers up and went off duty. This is the result.
BA's man or woman management is almost as bad as Ryanair.
