OA pilots continue go-slow protest, grounding 17 domestic flights
Pilots on some Olympic Airlines domestic flights continued their go-slow protest yesterday, resulting in the cancellation of 17 flights. The pilots are working a maximum of five hours a day. Further delays and cancellations are expected today. The protest action has already cost OA 120,000 euros in compensation to passengers, which it has been paying out since Friday, when the pilots began the go slow. The Union of Propeller Airplane Pilots (EEXA) is due to hold elections on May 12 and protests by its members are expected to continue until then.
