The senior guys want their full pension guarranteed and will only have 10 years or so left of poor working conditions. (besides they are senior enough anyway to avoid the crap)
Error 1: Most long haul pilots are already approaching the 900 hr limit. WW can't get any more productivity, all he can do is try to replace the Bidline rostering system with Carmen. Then the senior guys have the most to lose because they'll start getting the crap they can dodge at the moment.
The Pilots will be split 49/51 and give WW what he really wants, the optimum result for BA
Error 2: Even with the all senior guys on the oldest pension and all the junior guys on the newest pension voting together, they still represent less than a third of all BA pilots.
Unprecendented massive cost / crewing savings to bring you in line with your main future competitors Emirates, Virgin, Etihad, BMI, Qatar, Kingfisher etc
Error 3:If you want to lower my work levels to the level of Virgin (750 hourds per year, any extra on overtime) I'd be quite happy.
Do you think all those 777-300ER's will come with crew rest facilities etc???
Error 4:If they want to use them on ER routes they'll have to so says the CAA.
Do you think you'll still be flying with Heavy crews?
Error 5: You can't fly long range without heavy crews, unless willy thinks he can change the flight time limitations too.
