British Airways has predicted further flight disruptions this week as the strike enters its third day.
At present there doesn’t appear to be a solution on the horizon , and the Airline is losing millions of pounds because of the dispute.
It is reported that a mere 300 staff out of 2,200 who were rostered on at the weekend, actually turned up, BA dispute these figures , quoting a 98% attendance at Gatwick Airport and 50% at Heathrow.
Cabin crew have organised a second walk out commencing 27 March until the 30th, and there are no plans for any emergency talks, to try and avert strike action.
BA has said that the walk outs have led to other problems, as staff are finding themselves in different locations, and many aircraft are not where they were originally supposed to be.
An estimated 1,000 flights have ben cancelled over the three days , which is just over half that were originally scheduled
The union Unite have claimed that BA are sending out “ghost flight” with no passengers on board, and that only a handful took off from Heathrow with travellers on board.
Many passengers have booked with other airlines, some of which have increased their number of seats by adding additional flights on some routes.
There have been picket lines in the Heathrow vicinity, with supporters and staff jeering at cabin crew, aboard coaches bringing them into work.
Tony Woodley, has asked senior members of BA to see sense, and initiate some new talks, in order to try and settle the dispute.
