We now have a new offer from the company, which we will put to our members. The two-day strike over Christmas and Boxing Day is now suspended. It will be for our members now to decide if British Airways has done enough to meet their concerns. I want to pay tribute to our cabin crew members who have been determined to achieve a negotiated settlement.
