Yes from what I heard it was difficult to negotiate "something like that" and the real baddy here is some in BA management.
As I recall it the claim was BA management were highly resistant to any plans put forward by BALPA that would have prevented any pilot CR...and I'd suggest that was very much down to the political factors Busdriver01 has mentioned.
