\nBritish Airways refuses to back down to <\/strong>Unite<\/strong>\n<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nBritish Airways refuses to back down over the cabin crew dispute and is fully prepared to run a close-to full service if another strike occurs, chief executive Willie Walsh has said.\n<\/p>\n

\n \n<\/p>\n

\nThe tortured British Airways boss exhibited no sign of giving in or giving up in regards to Unite during a speech to travel professionals. He claimed it was not “entirely” the union’s fault that an agreement had not been met in the past 12 months.\n<\/p>\n

\n \n<\/p>\n

\nThe conflict between cabin crew members and their employer first began when BA revealed changes to working practices, reducing flight attendant numbers on flights and offering a pay freeze.\n<\/p>\n

\n \n<\/p>\n

\nAfter a series of strikes that proved detrimental to the airline, the dispute fell into a bitter sequence over the withdrawal of staff travel ‘perks’ from strikers.
\nWalsh has said repeatedly that he refuses to back down  in regards to the cabin crew.\n<\/p>\n
