This sale comes amid record losses and as talk of a strike swirls around British Airways once more. The airline announced a loss after tax of £217 million during the six months to September 30 and also said that it would cut an additional 1,200 jobs. This would take planned job losses to 4,900 by 2010. However, Willie Walsh, CEO of BA, urged passengers to book flights with the airline for Christmas travel and said that warnings of a strike were premature.
