Ken Ablard, a spokesman for the British Airlines Stewards and Stewardesses Association, which is working with the union Unite in the negotiations with BA, told
Channel 4 News: "Talks are happening today and tomorrow.
"I understand that our negotiating team certainly felt there had been some movement in the talks with BA, that's why the members were prepared to extend the deadline until this Friday,
following the meeting last week.
"So by the end of the week there will be a decision, either a negotiation agreed, or actual strike dates announced."
