easyJet Pilots Vote To Authorize Strike

But Say They Will Consider New Company Offer

Pilots flying for easyJet have voted to walk off the job if it is necessary, but have said they are open to a hearing a new offer from the carrier.

"BALPA members in easyJet have voted overwhelmingly in favour of taking industrial action in a dispute over pilot fatigue. In a ballot which closed today 96% voted for some form of industrial action on a turnout of 88%," said BALPA General Secretary Brian Strutton in a statement posted on the BALPA website.

"BALPA has now received a last minute offer from easyJet to resolve the dispute and we will consider this carefully in meetings Thursday before taking any further decisions.

"For clarity that means there are no plans for pilots taking industrial action in easyJet at this stage.”

Buying Business Travel reports that the company said in a statement that it is committed to finding a solution to avoid a disruption of service. "EasyJet can reassure its passengers that no industrial action is currently planned by its UK pilots," the company said through a spokesman.
