The Unite union said the proposed strike by more than 50 American Airlines aircraft maintenance technicians and crew chiefs had the potential to cause "severe disruption" at Heathrow.
However, a new pay offer was announced on Tuesday (12 October). Unite said it had secured a three-year pay deal worth 19%. The deal will see pay increase by 7% for 2022, backdated to January, 6% for 2023 and 6% for 2024. Previously, the Unite said American Airlines had offered 5.3% in year one, a one-off payment in year two and a pay freeze for year three.
