British Airways withdrew a compensation offer to Hong Kong cabin crew it axed earlier this week and promised to revise the deal and extend its deadline after dozens protested against the mass lay-off.
Britain’s flagship carrier notified sacked staff through an email on Saturday that it would revise its previous offer of an ex gratia payment and extend the deadline for the attendants to accept the separation offer to next Friday.

“The content of the agreement will see very little change but will include clarity on the numbers,” the email stated.
But the message did not mention when the company would issue the new agreement.
This came after members of the BA Hong Kong International Cabin Crew Association and other unions staged a protest in front of the company’s counters at Hong Kong International Airport on Friday, demanding that it listen to their requests.
