British Airways in the news

An American deal?
Willie Walsh, head of British Airways, predicts approval of an alliance with American Airlines by year end.
Let's not strike
BA faces the same pressures as most of the world's airlines: passengers are scarce in the current economy and some form of downsizing is inevitable. That probably means layoffs, but in the British corporate world that often means strikes by employee unions. BA is in talks to work out some accommodation with its unions to avoid the prospect of industrial action (strikes).
