British Airways celebrates 100th birthday by giving all pilots 3 days off: cancels many flights

British Airways will celebrate its 100th birthday by giving their pilots 3 days off on 9, 10 and 27 September. Many cancellation emails were sent to customers informing them about flight changes together with a reminder for BA’s birthday and a wishlist.

British Airways is having a hard time with many technical problems and is under pressure by the British Airline Pilots’ Association to increase wages. To show their appreciation, BA instead now gives all their pilots a few days off.

For their birthday, British Airways is asking for a gaming computer with a good graphics card to play Fortnite, a new IT infrastructure and for 4000 new pilots.
