schedule -- hit hard in a flight attendants strike last week -- but so far service to Bermuda remains unaffected.

Although the walkout ended Saturday, it remained unclear when the dispute might be resolved. No new talks have been set between airline executives and the union, which called its members off the job in a pay dispute.

Many of the union members had phoned in sick and were not yet back at work.

British Airways also faced the complicated task of getting all its airplanes in place to operate normally.

British Airways could not say when its full schedule will be restored.

"I would hope by about the middle of the week,'' spokesman David Budgen yesterday told the Associated Press. "It will take a few days for us to get the program into full swing.'' Meanwhile local BA manager Philip Troake said a very limited number of cancellations had been planned and unless the union resorted to "sick-outs'' or other wildcat action, service to the Island should remain on schedule.

He said Saturday's flights to and from London landed and took off as scheduled.

British Airways operates three flights weekly to Bermuda, flying out of London's Gatwick Airport on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. The airlines' New York reservations desk yesterday confirmed all those flights were listed as operational this week.

A small number of inter-continental flights out of Gatwick were however grounded, but London's Heathrow Airport, the company's main base, appeared to be hit hardest by the interruptions.

British Airways said it had to cancel 30 percent of the long-haul intercontinental flights from Heathrow, 55 percent of the short-haul European flights and 60 percent of the domestic British flights.
