BA"s arch executive, Willie Walsh, met the corner ubiquitous cabinet member of the Unite traffic union, Tony Woodley, this sunrise but they unsuccessful to reach an agreement. It is accepted that Walsh submitted a new suggest but Woodley lifted clever objections. However, Woodley has returned to the TUC for some-more talks after discussions with member of Unite"s cabin organisation branches, Bassa and Cabin Crew 89.
Walsh and Woodley have been holding discussions at the domicile of the TUC in executive London. If there is no new thing this afternoon it is expected that the initial walkout by BA cabin organisation in thirteen years will proceed on Saturday.

Earlier this week, Woodley pronounced Unite would postpone the strikes if BA put a prior grave suggest to the kinship behind on the table. BA had cold the suggest last Friday after Unite set set upon dates for the three-day walkout starting on Saturday, and a serve 4 days of industrial movement starting on twenty-seven March.
Representatives of Bassa had warned that members were doubtful to accept the suggest anyway. It enclosed a three-year compensate understanding and the prejudiced dissolution of staffing cuts that triggered the dispute.
Walsh had indicated that BA was doubtful to put the same suggest behind on the list and would benefaction a tougher one instead. That appears to have happened this morning, with Walsh claiming the brawl has already cost BA scarcely £30m that right away needs to be reclaimed by any destiny agreement.
