\n<\/div>\n\n \n \n<\/p>\n \nIt's over, it's finally over. After a long tumultuous 18-months of going back and forth in heated dispute after heated dispute, British Airways and their cabin crew have come to an agreement.\n<\/p>\n \n \n<\/p>\n \nThe peace offer ends a nearly two-year long epic aviation struggle that costs BA an estimated £150 million and endless bad publicity.\n<\/p>\n \n \n<\/p>\n \nUnite Union, which represents the cabin crew, announced Thursday that a whopping 72 percent of its nearly 10,000 members \n \n<\/p>\n \nMembers wanted travel concessions reinstated after they were taken away from them for going on strike in March 2010. A new pay deal was agreed upon and both working arrangements and routes were protected while BA brings on new crew members. \n<\/p>\n \n \n<\/p>\n \nBritish Airways released a statement after the agreement was made official saying that their cabin crew members' "professionalism and skill" are second to none" and that they were delighted with the "honourable settlement."\n<\/p>\n \n \n<\/p>\n \nIndustry experts are already saying this settlement can be seen as a victory for BA and should reduce the likelihood of any future strikes or conflicts. \n<\/p>\n \n \n<\/p>\n
