An agreement has been reached to end the long-running British Airways cabin crew dispute, the Unite union has confirmed.

The deal is being put to a mass meeting of Unite members near Heathrow airport and is expected to be recommended for acceptance in a ballot.

The deal will end 18 months of hostilities that included 22 days of walkouts. It includes the restoration of travel concessions for cabin crew, the issue that was holding up a settlement.

The Unite leader, Len McCluskey, said he was "delighted" to have reached an agreement and it was good news for the workers, the airline and its customers.

1. Welcome news, as I am flying BA next week!

Now, if I can just get through security w/out too much groping and/or radiation exposure it should be a pleasant trip. :)
