The Labor Department said Friday it wants salary level to count in deciding who is eligible for overtime pay. But it’s not setting the maximum pay a worker can get and still qualify.

That’s according to a brief filed by the Trump administration in federal court in New Orleans in a case over whether President Barack Obama’s administration had the right to double the threshold to around $47,000.

A federal court last year blocked the Obama administration rule, and Labor Secretary Alex Acosta has suggested the decision may have called into question whether his agency could use a salary level at all.

He told a Senate panel this year that he’d consider raising the maximum salary level from nearly $24,000 to a bit more than $30,000.

In Friday’s brief, the Labor Department did not endorse the Obama administration’s salary maximum and is seeking public information on a new threshold.

Instead, the administration asked the court to “address only the threshold legal question of the department’s statutory authority to set a salary level, without addressing the specific salary level set by the 2016 final rule.”

That was good news for employers that had opposed the Obama administration’s overtime policy.

British Airways has leased nine jets and crews from a Middle Eastern airline so it can continue running services during a cabin crew strike.

Hundreds of BA staff based at London’s Heathrow Airport are due to walk out Saturday in a dispute over pay.

BA says it plans to operate “99.5 percent” of its schedule during the 16-day strike. It says Qatar Airways, a partner in the Oneworld alliance, will be “operating a small number of short-haul flights on our behalf.”

The strike involves staff hired since 2010, who earn less than their predecessors.

Union Unite has accused BA of punishing staff for earlier strikes, and urged it to end “corporate bullying” and resolve the dispute.

Mazda is recalling nearly 228,000 cars in the U.S. because the parking brake may not fully release or could fail to hold the cars, increasing the risk of a crash.

The recall covers certain 2014-2015 Mazda 6 2014-2016 Mazda 3 cars.

The company says water can get into the brake caliper, causing a shaft to corrode and bind. If that happens, the parking brake can get stuck in the on position or fail to fully engage. That can let the cars roll unexpectedly if parked on a slope.

The problem affects only cars with a hand-operated parking brake lever system, according to documents posted Friday by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
