Pilots of the Finnish airline Finnair oppose calls by the airline for reduced benefits, and threaten to start industrial action on February 11.

The strike will begin if no settlement is reached before that.

According to Finnair, an overtime ban imposed by the pilots could lead to cancellations of flights already on Saturday.

If no settlement is reached, the pilots will be off work on February 11, 13, 16, 18, and 20.

Contract negotiations ended on Wednesday without agreement. Finnair says that the views of the two sides remain far apart from each other. In addition to pay, the disagreements concern the pilots’ pension system, days off, and the use of outside labour.
