BA faces more action as weekend kicks off
As British Airways braces itself for a third strike period from tomorrow, it has revealed that passenger numbers fell by 14.2% to 2.3 million in May.
Almost 400,000 people decided not to fly with the carrier last month thanks to the industrial action over travel perks, pay and conditions.
The action has cost the flag carrier a whopping £119 million and it is estimated that that figure rockets another £7 million a day.
This week cabin crew union Unite joint secretary Tony Woodley insisted that the airline needed to be taught some manners and that his members would not bow to bullying.
He also suggested that there would be another strike ballot as early as next week to vote on further industrial action in July.
Meanwhile, BA management say the current sticking point – the withdrawal of free travel to striking crew – would be resolved but only as part of a final settlement.
