Ua hōʻike ka poʻe pailaka ʻo British Airways Plc i kēia lā ma ke keʻena poʻo ʻo Lākana e kūʻē i ka manaʻo o ka hui e hoʻomaka i kahi mokulele hou.
Ma kahi o 1,000 mau pailaka a me nā lālā o ko lākou ʻohana i hele aku i nā keʻena ʻo British Airways ma kahi kokoke i ke kahua mokulele ʻo London Heathrow, ma kahi kūʻē i hala ʻelua hola a me ka hapa, wahi a ka mea haʻiʻōlelo ʻo Keith Bill i kēia lā ma kahi ninaninau kelepona. Ua pani nā mākaʻi i ke alanui A4 no ka ʻae ʻana i nā mea hoʻokele.
Ua koho ka British Air Line Pilots Association, a i ʻole Balpa, e kuʻe i ka hui OpenSkies o BA, e lele ana ma waena o Paris a me Nu Ioka e hoʻomaka ana i Iune. Makemake ʻo British Airways e kiʻi i nā pailaka no ka ʻoihana hou mai waho o kona loko wai i kēia manawa, a ʻōlelo ka uniona e hoʻohana ʻo BA i ka ʻoihana no ka hoʻololi ʻana i ka uku a me nā kūlana hana no nā poʻe holo mokulele āpau.
"Makemake mākou i nā pailaka e lele ana e lilo i mau pailota BA," i ʻōlelo ai ʻo Jim McAuslan, ke kākau ʻōlelo nui o Balpa, i kēia lā ma kahi ninaninau kelepona i ka pau ʻana o ke kūʻē. "E pili ana i ka palekana hana, nā ʻoihana a me ka mahalo."
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo British Airways Luna Nui ʻo Willie Walsh e pono i ka mea lawe kaʻa hou ke kumu kūʻai haʻahaʻa inā ʻo ia e hoʻokūkū me nā mokulele ʻoihana nui. ʻO OpenSkies kahi ʻāpana o ka pane ʻana o ka mokulele i kahi ʻaelike European Union-US e hoʻokuʻu i ka huakaʻi ea trans-Atlantic e hoʻomaka ana i ka lā Malaki 31.
Hooiaio i na Pilota
Ua hāʻawi ka mokulele i nā hōʻoiaʻiʻo ʻaʻole e hoʻopilikia ʻo OpenSkies i nā uku a me nā ʻōlelo o nā pailaka nui. E hoʻohana ʻo OpenSkies i hoʻokahi mokulele Boeing Co. 757 e hana i ka lawelawe mua ʻo Paris-New York, e ulu ana i ʻeono mau mokulele ma ka hopena o 2009.
"Makemake ʻo British Airways e mālama i ko lākou maʻalahi - makemake ʻo ia i nā poʻe kaʻa ʻoihana no OpenSkies, e lanakila paʻakikī ana lākou a pono lākou e hana ma ka ʻoihana," wahi a John Strickland, ka luna o London-based aviation specialist JLS Consulting Ltd. me he mea lā ua hana lākou i ka mea maikaʻi loa e hoʻomaha i ka makaʻu o Balpa, akā ua hoʻohuli ʻia ka uniona e nā mea a lākou i ʻike ai ma ʻAmelika.
ʻO ka mea i kapa ʻia ʻo open-skies kuikahi e ʻae i nā mokulele EU e lele i US mai kekahi o nā mokulele o ka bloc, ma kahi o ko lākou ʻāina home. Hoʻopau pū ia i ka laka i loaʻa i ka British Airways a me ʻekolu mau mea lawe ʻē aʻe ma ka lawelawe US mai Heathrow, ke kahua mokulele ʻoi loa o ʻEulopa.
Ua koho ka poʻe hoʻokele Balpa e kuʻi ma Feb. 21. Ma lalo o ke kānāwai Pelekāne he 28 lā ka puka makani e hoʻomaka ai ka hele ʻana. Ua hoʻolōʻihi ka ʻAha Kiʻekiʻe o UK i ka lā palena ma hope o ka haʻihaʻi ʻana o nā kamaʻilio ma waena o nā ʻaoʻao ʻelua a ʻimi ka uniona e kāohi i kahi kauoha i hoʻoweliweli ʻia e ka mokulele.
Kāohi i ka hahau ʻana
Ke ho'āʻo nei ʻo British Airways e hoʻohana i ke kānāwai hoʻokūkū EU e pale aku i kahi hahau, e like me Balpa. Hāʻawi ke kānāwai i nā lāhui EU i ke kuleana e hoʻokumu i nā ʻoihana ma kekahi o nā ʻāina o ka poloka.
Hōʻike ʻo Balpa ma kahi o 3,000 o nā pailaka 3,200 o ka mokulele. Ua ʻōlelo ka Air Line Pilots Association, e kākoʻo ʻo ia i ka hōʻike ʻana a Balpa i kēia hopena pule ma ke koho ʻana ma nā mokulele US e like me New York's John F. Kennedy International, Washington Dulles, Los Angeles International, San Francisco International a me Seattle Tacoma International.
ʻO nā pailaka o American Airlines Inc. e piket ana ma ke kahua mokulele ʻo British Airways ma ke kahua mokulele ʻo John F. Kennedy i ka manawa like me ka huakaʻi kūʻē ma Lākana, wahi a McAuslan.
