The placard, bottom left, refers to BA CEO Willie Walsh. TBritish Airways canceled more than 1,000 flights after its cabin crew launched a three-day strike Saturday, wreaking havoc on the plans of tens of thousands of passengers just before the busy spring holiday season. Chief Executive Willie Walsh issued a direct apology via YouTube for the walkout, the airline's first in almost 15 years, saying it was a "terrible day for BA." The strike _ backed by some unions in the United States, Germany and Spain _ also risked harm to Britain's Labour government before a tough general election expected before June.
