British Airways cabin crew could vote to end the long-running industrial dispute with the airline which has already led to 22 days of strikes this year.
The crew’s union Unite confirmed this morning that it was organising a consultative ballot on the latest offer from BA, which it said made changes to the airline’s earlier offer which was rejected by cabin crew.
The news came a day after BA chief executive Willie Walsh said the airline was prepared for further strikes, though he said he thought it unlikely that staff would walk-out again this year.
Speaking at the Travel Convention, Walsh said BA would be able to operate 100% of its long-haul flights in the event of a strike, though he was unsure how many of its short-haul flights would be hit.
