Reports are that the Chief Executive Officer of British Airways, Willie Walsh, is busy talking and negotiating with the Unite union for the second consecutive day, as he looks to ward off a strike by 12,000 members of the cabin crew, which is slated to commence tomorrow.

The talks were embarked upon by Mr. Walsh and Unite General Secretary Tony Woodley in London, today morning. A brief meeting which happened on Wednesday, before the men started a new round of discussions yesterday, was their first face-to-face meet since December of past year.

"It's D-Day for whether we reach a deal or the dispute is on. My members don't want a dispute. They want a settlement they can live with", Mr. Wooley said.

Apart from confirming that BA "will be flying tomorrow", Mr. Walsh, who is looking to cut crew numbers and employ pay-cuts and freezes, preferred to not share any more comments on anything else, specifically the strike.

The planned three-day walk-out, in addition to a four-day strike starting March 27 could end up costing UK's biggest airline a whopping 105 Million Pounds ($159 Million), and the CEO is trying his best to avoid the same.
