BA statement on High Court ruling
We are extremely pleased with today’s High Court ruling that the
modest changes we made to onboard crew numbers on flights from
Heathrow were reasonable, did not breach crew contracts and can remain
in place.
Unite’s central demand over the last three months has been that we
reverse these changes, despite the severe financial impact this would
have on the company at a time when we are facing a second year of
record annual losses.
Unite’s arguments as to why the changes should be reversed have been
considered in great detail by the Court – and rejected.
Unite brought this case to Court. We believe it should reflect on the
Court’s decision rather than impose an unnecessary strike on the
travelling public.
Talks continue under the auspices of the TUC.
