We understand that BA has started cancelling its operations on the 27^th of September today outside of the 14 day window to avoid having to compensate affected passengers.

BALPA set a gap between the first and second periods of strike action to give BA time to work with us to settle this dispute with their pilots. We had today been exchanging new ideas to do that via ACAS and so it irresponsible and inconsiderate to its customers that BA has pulled out and decided to start cancelling flights now, just to save money on compensation. BA did not respond to our latest proposals before cancelling these flights.

Passengers who will be affected by these cancellations should know that we have given BA multiple opportunities to work with us so we could call off this action.
