It might make some outsiders a wee bit nervous to hear that pilots aren't happy. Try to think through an outsider's viewpoint when answering, not just from 'within a bubble'.
Like many here this for tha last 6 months I’ve had to plan holidays, work travel etc with this and other strikes in mind so I’m not sure many of us are in a bubble, but anyway, bubble or not, objectively this dispute is done and dusted...
As bex has said there has been a “resolution”...IMVHO not much changed but the company’s offer was put to the membership, after a ballot the proposals were accepted by a decent majority...that’s it. The U.K. isn’t France, the action can’t just be turned back on like a tap,
As for the “good and reliable airline” aspect of this, there is far far more to that than the BALPA dispute and maybe you need to ask of management how well they are doing at facilitating a good and reliable airline....the workforce can only do so much with the resources they are given.
