British Airways and the union representing its 12,000 cabin crew are no closer to resolving a dispute on pay and staffing levels as a strike at the airline enters its third day.
BA said it flew almost 100,000 passengers over the weekend even after grounding hundreds of flights at its Heathrow main hub. The Unite union that represents cabin crew said only a “small minority” of cabin crew broke the walkout.
Unite General Secretary Tony Woodley, in an open letter to flight attendants, appealed to British Airways Chairman Martin Broughton to step in and help resolve the dispute. The weekend strike, the first for London-based BA since 1997, took place after Woodley’s talks with Chief Executive Officer Willie Walsh collapsed March 19.
