When? Nobody knows. The Unions (all of those involved, not just BALPA) rejected the Company's offer at a meeting on 26th April. The Company have gone away to reconsider and perhaps come up with a more sensible/acceptable set of proposals. Given that the defict is due to reassessed in mid June it's unlikely BA will say much before then.
If the proposals are still unacceptable then there would then be a whole set of procedural and legal steps to go through before anyone mans the picket line ( formal "failure to agree", the ballot with it's timetable, then the legal cooling off period), my guess is there could be no action for August at the earliest.
I hope it doesn't get that bad but make no mistake.. it's not "just talk", IMHO this strike will happen unless the Company makes a radical change to it's proposals.
