Pilots working for the travel group Thomas Cook will stage a strike on Saturday (23rd September) as part of a dispute over pay.
Their trade union, the British Airline Pilots' Association (Balpa), confirmed the strike after five days of talks failed to resolve the dispute.
A strike on 8 September was the first by pilots at the company since 1974.
Further walkouts, on 29 September as well as 6 October, are also in the pipeline.
The next strike will last for 24 hours.

Despite the strike, all the flights planned appear to be operating, but admittedly at dreadful times, departing the UK from 0200 to 0400 on Saturday morning. Whatever one thinks of strikes, this is the first pilot strike in the UK since 1974 which suggests there may be an underlying problem which needs sorting out.0

Whilst i do not condone the strike there is no point of it unless it makes the company sit up and take notice which in turn will give the pilots what they want or what they would like.ITS NOT EASY TO GET EVERYTHING WRONG ,I HAVE TO WORK HARD TO DO IT!0
