A ballot at the headquar-
ters of the British Airline
Pilots Association (BALPA)
showed that most of the 5,000
members were in favor of re-
fusing to fly to such coun-

The pilots supported this
line of action rather than
short-term strikes in protest
against lack of international
action against air piracy.
Capt. Laurie Taylor, chair-
man of BALPA, announced
that he was flying to Las

to combat it are to be dis-
