Supposed To Fly British Airways Today? Here's What You Need To Know

Pilots at British Airways went on strike Monday, Sept. 9th and Tuesday, Sept 10th forcing the airline to cancel ALL their flights for both days. From the British Airways website:  

We understand the frustration and disruption BALPA’s strike action has caused you. After many months of trying to resolve the pay dispute, we are extremely sorry that it has come to this.

Unfortunately, with no detail from BALPA on which pilots would strike, we had no way of predicting how many would come to work or which aircraft they are qualified to fly, so we had no option but to cancel nearly 100 percent our flights.

We remain ready and willing to return to talks with BALPA.

If you were scheduled to fly on British Airways, chances are your flight is canceled.
