British Airways’ passengers could face another four days of strike action as the ‘poverty pay’ dispute continues.
Union Unite urged the airline to enter talks and reach an agreement to avoid further walkouts from February 17 – 20.
The strike, by 2,900 members of Unite, is in pursuit of higher pay for members of the so-called "mixed fleet".
Workers are striking in a dispute over pay for members on those contracts. They said they are underpaid and dispute the airline’s claim that staff are paid a minimum of £21,000 a year through pay, bonuses and incentives.
A BA spokesman said: "Our pay offer for mixed fleet crew is consistent with the deal accepted by 92% of colleagues across the airline, most of who are represented by Unite.
"It also reflects pay awards given by other companies in the UK and will ensure that rewards for mixed fleet remain in line with those for cabin crew at our airline competitors."
The last round of strike action resulted in just 1 per cent of flights being cancelled.
