Thomas Cook claims to have kept disruption to a minimum and most flight crews have been incredibly accommodating to the airline's requests to change shifts and alter other arrangements in order to keep flying.
The airline also warns that even if the strike is called off, or doesn't go ahead for any other reason, the above schedule will still apply. There is a sense that the airlines' management feels a little bolder now in the wake of the collapse of Monarch, according to some at the airline.
BALPA has also warned of a strike on 12 and 19 October and at this stage, it looks as those will go ahead as the official line coming out of Thomas Cook is "We remain keen to resolve this dispute in the interest of all those involved." without giving in any concessions.
