Cabin crew at British Airways have entered the third day of their four-day strike, heaping fresh misery on thousands of weary passengers.



Employees from the Unite Union, which represents 12,000 BA cabin crew are upset about what they describe as the airline’s slash and burn strategy to cut costs.



However, BA chief executive Willie Walsh has warned that the loss-making airline could fold in a decade unless the changes he wants are carried out.
