Well first of all you are not going to need existing crew levels in July and August, its going to take years before the industry gets back to something resembling 'normal'. Next, as others have alluded, not everyone will refuse to sign a new contact - every individuals circumstances are different. Finally BA are looking to make redundancies so an offer of a job (on any terms) to those individuals that otherwise would have been laid-off with no immediate prospect of getting a new one will be mightily attractive.
