Good post...I think one big problem here has been the tone set by some of the comms from BA management - we're not daft, everybody knows there's a crisis, but approaching this right from the get go, as one department did, with an attitude of " right you lot, we've finally got you where we want you, we're finally going to get what we've wanted for years " really wasn't the smartest move...
I see at least one senior manager in one department seems to have tried to row things back a bit in the last 24 hours with (I paraphrase) claims that of course the initial letter was a hard letter to write, that the initial comms were in effect legally/template driven, but having done that can we now actually talk about negotiating nicely..
