British Airways cabin crews are now in strike mode, over job cuts and changes to work practices.

The union Unite, which looks after the interests of BA cabin crew, has claimed that planes are now stacking up on the ground as a result of the strike.

But BA management has disputed the Union assertion, and has said many of its passengers have still been able to fly.

BA decided before the strike on a contingency plan, which it claims has allowed two-thirds of flights to take off.
