THE British Airline Pilots Association (BALPA)
has called off the strike over pay and conditions scheduled for September
27 explaining that industrial actions that took place on September
9 and 10 had "demonstrated the anger and resolve of pilots".
"It was now time for a period of reflection before
the dispute escalates further and irreparable damage is done to the
brand," BALPA added.
BALPA
general secretary, Brian Strutton, said: "Someone has to
take the initiative to sort out this dispute and with no sign of that from BA
the pilots have decided to take the responsible course. In a genuine attempt at
establishing a time out for common sense to prevail, we have lifted the threat
of the strike on September 27."
However, the union warned that should the IAG-owned
airline refuse "meaningful new negotiations" it would pursue further
industrial action, according to London's Air Cargo News.
The strikes that took place earlier this month had bought
cargo activities on British Airways aircraft to a standstill.
