In an attempt to test the usefulness of the highly popular Apple iPad in the workplace, the UK’s flagship carrier British Airways (BA) has issued iPad 2’s to 120 members of its cabin crew, so as to help them offer a more ‘personalised’ service to the passengers.

The British Airways (BA) has come out of bad times after a long struggle. The BA’s annual report has revealed the consistent performance of the company which has been struggling lately with its trade union on the policies of the company,

The British Airways and Iberia have prepared a shortlist of around 12 airlines which they hope to takeover or merge with after their own tie up deal has been completed.

The decision has swayed in by the Unite union to meet the British Airways officials for the next week for additional peace discussion following accusing the BA of turning down from its most recent effort to finish the elongated running walk out action by the cabin crew.

The joint general secretary of the Unite union, Tony Woodley has written a letter to the union members saying about the disputes in the peace talks.

The Unite union has said that if no further action is taken for a solution of the ongoing problem in between Tuesday, then the cabin crew of British Airways will be balloted.

The cabin crew members have done twenty-two days of strike in this year and the removal of travel concessions from the striking employees is the new dispute included in that strike.

The conciliation service Acas has said that the recent attempt to make an agreement between the British Airways and Unite union had been failed.
