British Airways faces 20 days of strike action by cabin crew including a walk out during the next school half-term holidays.

Four sets of industrial action are planned by the Unite union: May 18-22, May 24-28, May 30-June 3 and June 5-9.
 BA plans to run all flights from Gatwick and London City Airport as well as a "sunstantial part" of its long haul network from Heathrow as well as services to all short haul destinations.
 Unite’s joint general secretaries Derek Simpson and Tony Woodley said: “Passengers and investors alike will be dismayed that British Airways' management rejected an approach by the union over the weekend, after their offer had been comprehensively turned down by their own employees.
 “Cabin crew are left with no choice but to take further strike action.
 “The seven days notice period is sufficient time for BA management to do the sensible thing and reopen meaningful negotiations.”
 Unite said it also intends to hold a further industrial action ballot of BA cabin crew over issues which have arisen from the company’s conduct during the dispute.
