BA have had their appeal dismissed. Kudos to BALPA for having their ducks in a row on this. Keep up the good fight!

absolutely! It’s good to see that unions have finally cottoned onto using management style tools against them. I have been relentlessly frustrated watching management of many airlines using the legal system to thwart workers plans. I could never figure out why the unions weren’t alert to this in a similar fashion.

And they should engage decent PR people to get their message across. eg immediate rebuttal of management’s disappointment at pilots threatening passenger travel plans, stating we are disappointed at management’s position forcing the pilots to feel it necessary to consider such drastic action.

In fact getting that out ahead of corporate spin is the way to go.
