British Airways strike affects tens of thousands
Cabin crews walk out; second strike planned for end of March
Tens of thousands of British Airways passengers have had their weekend travel plans interrupted due to a three-day cabin crew strike that began on Saturday. Over 1,000 flights were canceled and more disruptions are expected due accommodations that will need to be made for affected passengers. Chief BA executive Willie Walsh aired an apology for the walkout via YouTube, calling it a "terrible day for BA." A second strike is planned for March 27-30.
