As a result, 1,700 flights were canceled and thousands of passengers were affected. The strike was organized by the British Airline Pilots Association (BALPA) over a heated dispute with the airline over pay. According to the British Airline Pilots Association, British Airways needs to let its pilots benefit more from their profits.
The strike will cost British Airways much more than investing in resolving the conflict. British Airways has said that the pilots' salaries have been fair.
