BA resolves mixed-fleet pay dispute

British Airways flight attendants employed under the carrier's mixed-fleet contract have accepted a proposed pay deal, ending a long-running dispute. The Unite union says 84% of mixed-fleet cabin crew members voted to back an agreement previously reached with the airline. Under the deal, flight attendants will receive inflation-adjusted pay rises between GBP1,404 (US$1,864) and GBP2,908. It adds that "travel concessions and entitlements to fully participate in the airline's 2017 bonus scheme [are being] returned to cabin crew who took industrial action". Unite says that mixed-fleet crew who participated in industrial action were "sanctioned" by BA, and that the union started legal proceedings against the airline. However, the members' acceptance of the deal serves as settlement of the legal action. <br/>
