A strike by British Airways cabin crew threw travel plans for thousands of passengers into disarray Sunday, as the political battle over the walkout heated up just weeks before an election.
The carrier and the Unite union, which represents 12,000 BA cabin crew, also traded fresh blows in the second day of the four-day strike and ratcheted up their war of words over the impact of the walkout.
Unite, whose striking cabin crew are staging their second walkout in a week, claimed more than 130 flights had been cancelled by mid-morning. BA has said it expects 75 percent of passengers booked during the strike period to fly.
