Firstly, genuinely sorry to hear about what those of you at BA are going through. I'm not a pilot but I'm employed elsewhere in the industry.
My question is, what can BALPA do? I'd imagine IA wouldn't have any effect at the moment due to the lack of flights to disrupt and media attention being focused elsewhere. So is it just a case of negotiating and hoping to mitigate some of the worst-case options slightly? Or will they be able to find leverage through other means? Hopefully dragging out negotiations for as long as possible may allow for some economic recovery and weaken BA's case for making some of these highly opportunistic changes.

Either way wishing you all the best outcome possible under the circumstances.
