Just announced, At least they didn't muck up Christmas/New Year.. still, it's going to muck a LOT of people around.. I just wondered what their pay was.. interesting.
British Airways cabin crew will vote again on possible strike action, the Unite union has announced. Unite said a fresh ballot of its members will be held after recent talks with BA failed to find a resolution to a long-running dispute. A strike planned for Christmas last year was blocked after a court granted an injunction, declaring it illegal. Unite is in a dispute with BA over changes to cabin crew staffing levels and working conditions. *1
Found this:
Data from the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) shows for the first time how much higher BA’s wage costs are than its rivals. The average salary for BA’s 14,000 cabin crew, including bonuses and allowances, is £29,900, compared with £14,400 at Virgin Atlantic and £20,200 at easyJet. BA’s pilots earn an average of £107,600, compared with £89,500 at Virgin and £71,400 at easyJet.*2
