Thank you

...
Thank you everyone for the fascinating replies. I can see why our mole is upset.

The pilots pay dispute has now reached the media as if it were a fait accompli -

"Trade union Balpa expected to threaten walkouts as pay row gathers momentum."
and
"British Airways pilots are clamouring for a ballot on strike action after airline chiefs rejected demands for a new pay deal.
This link to a recent Employment Tribunal Judgment - sent to me by a well wisher - shows how BA dealt with one elected BALPA Rep during the ill-fated 2019 pilots' strike - https://www.gov.uk/employment-tribun...841-slash-2020 ... Note that he had to provide his own resources for his ET Claim.

Rather like the Mike Simkins v TCA case six years ago. Simkins wrote a book about it - 'Pulling Wings from Butterflies.' As they sometimes say "Where's balpa when you need them ?"

So if the Delta is to be reversed any time soon, it will require a heart or brain transplant for BA management, or another pilot strike, for which BA may be minded to use similar dirty tricks, having seemingly got away with the previous illegalities as noted in the above ET Judgment.
