AP – Protestors on the picket line gesture as a British Airways plane comes in to land at Heathrow Airport By JANE WARDELL, AP Business Writer – Mon Mar 22, 5:35 pm ET
LONDON – British Airways and the union representing its cabin crew were no closer to resolving a dispute over pay and conditions Monday as a strike that has grounded thousands of flights entered its third — and busiest — day.
Operations at the airline were put under more strain Monday than over the weekend as there are far more flights packed in to normal scheduling.
The airline said it operated 273, or 78 percent, of its long-haul flights and 442, or 50 percent, of its short-haul flights over the first two days of the strikes. It is yet to release details for Monday.
