UK pilot union to hold confidence vote in easyJet COO

LONDON (Reuters) – EasyJet’s chief operating officer will face a vote of confidence from pilots this week, the British Airline Pilots Association (BALPA) said on Monday.

BALPA, which represents more than 90% of easyJet’s pilots, said it would carry out a secret ballot closing at midday (1100 GMT) Friday, after the airline sent notification of planned redundancies.
