You what?

Wind your neck in. Your response to WR might at least have been understandable if it had come from a BA pilot, but you're not a professional pilot and you don't work for BA.
The pilot's claim against BA won't be decided by 'aviation professionals' but by two people from industry, one with a union background and one with a management background, and a lawyer in the chair. They don't come from the industry concerned in the dispute, and they decide after they've heard what each side says.

This forum is public - BA personnel have private forums where they can discuss the dispute in private if they want.
You may be "rather tired" of non aviation professionals commenting on the claim, but the thread has had 180 posts (some aviation professionals, some not) and 180,000 views to date so your suggestion that "all" aviation professionals might share your view seems unlikely to be correct.

WR has made some very helpful contributions to the discussion explaining employees' rights and employers' rights under employment law. Just like everyone else, you're free to learn from him or ignore him as you wish.

According to some press reports, the husband applied to work 75% BA agreed. I don't know if the reports are true.
