英语新闻听写 维珍航空飞行员计划在圣诞节罢工

 

According to Business Insider, some Virgin¹ Atlantic pilots are planning to strike from December 22 through December 25.

据“Business Insider”报道，维珍大西洋航空公司的一些飞行员计划在12月22日至12月25日期间罢工。

The strike will involve members of the Professional Pilots Union, which represents roughly one-third of Virgin Atlantic's pilots.

该罢工将涉及“专业飞行员协会”的成员，该协会的飞行员约占维珍航空公司飞行员的三分之一。

A spokesperson for Virgin Atlantic said that a "small number" of its pilots planned to strike and said the airline doesn't expect any disruptions to its flight schedule.

维珍航空的发言人表示，其公司的“少数”飞行员打算罢工，并称该航空公司认为其航班时刻表不会中断。

The pilots are planning the strike because Virgin Atlantic made the decision to exclude the PPU from discussions about potential changes to pilot benefits.

飞行员计划罢工的原因是维珍航空拒绝跟“专业飞行员协会”就可能存在的飞行员权益变更进行谈判。
