BA launches recruitment drive

British Airways has thrown itself into a huge recruitment programme in a bid to scupper union Unite’s plans for summer strikes.
The airline plans to take on more than 1000 new staff initially and will pay rookies £18000 for shorthaul work and long haul crew £35,000.
Adverts for the new BA roles will go public today.
Unite told the airline on Tuesday that it was planning to ballot members on new strike action which could mean walk-outs at the start of August.
Currently, neither side will back down over a dispute that essentially boils down to crew being angry about travel perks that were withdrawn from strikers back in March.
