Britain-Airline-Ba-Employee-Strike
British Airways planes sit grounded at Heathrow airport at the start of a four-day strike by cabin crew on March 27, 2010, the second wave of action in a week as part of a bitter, long-running dispute over pay and conditions. BA has pledged that more than three-quarters of its passengers -- more than 180, 000 out of 240, 000 -- will still be able to travel as planned during the walkout, which follows a similar three-day action last week.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful print captured by Carl Court, the once bustling Heathrow airport stands eerily silent as British Airways planes remain grounded during a four-day strike by cabin crew in March 2010. This second wave of action comes amidst a bitter and long-running dispute over pay and working conditions, leaving both passengers and employees caught in the crossfire. As the lens focuses on rows of motionless aircraft, their immobility symbolizes not only the physical grounding but also the frustration felt by all parties involved. The image serves as a stark reminder of how labor disputes can disrupt an entire industry, affecting countless lives. Despite the chaos that ensues from such strikes, British Airways assures its customers that more than three-quarters will still be able to travel as planned during this walkout. However, it is impossible to ignore the impact on those whose flights have been canceled or delayed indefinitely. The photograph's vertical composition emphasizes both the magnitude of this industrial action and its effect on air travel. It captures not just planes sitting idle but also hints at various parts of these colossal machines—engines, wings—that are essential for their operation yet rendered useless in this moment. Carl Court's poignant snapshot encapsulates a pivotal chapter in British Airways' history—one marked by tension between management and staff—a story echoed through every inch of this frozen scene at Heathrow airport.
