sugden,

Think of it this way. My T&Cs now give me reasonable pay, a reasonable lifestyle and a decent pension. If BA have their way and I do nothing, I will certainly lose the decent pension. Potentially lifestyle will be effected too if Bidline is targeted next.

If I strike and BA goes under, I am fortunate that I'll be able to get another flying job (possibly for BA2) where I should be able to achieve a similar level of pay and lifestyle (supply and demand), albeit without the decent pension. What do I have to lose by striking until the bitter end?

A lot less than our senior management....
