Sources close to the talks between British Airways and its cabin crew have dismissed reports that the two sides are working towards a deadline tomorrow.
Both BA and Unite have said they would like to settle the dispute by the end of Tuesday, but a source said this did not mean that strikes would be announced tomorrow or that a settlement had to be reached then.
The two sides will continue meeting today and tomorrow in an effort to get agreement, but discussions may continue after tomorrow’s hypothetical deadline.
If cabin crew do decide to call a strike tomorrow, the earliest it can take place is March 16, but unions have already said they will not target Easter.
“Talks are continuing,” said a BA spokeswoman.
