How about 6,700 as a better estimate of the number of cabin crew who have lost their travel concessions?
BA is also in the high court this week, as Unite seeks legal redress for the removal of travel concessions from an estimated 6,700 flight attendants who joined 22 days of strikes this year. Meanwhile, the union is taking a dispute over the treatment of industrial ballots to the European court of human rights after a cabin crew strike vote was ruled unlawful last year.
The root cause of the dispute, the unilateral reduction of staffing levels on flights, is also being taken to the court of appeal next month by Unite, which says the move constitutes a breach of contract. So far, the high court has backed BA's assertion that crewing levels are not a contractual issue.
