Well here's one vote for you, I wouldn't strike over it. Rather have a solvent employer that can afford to raise my basic pay which is the only way I'll be able to afford a pension at all.

That is a joke Barney, isn't it? Having shown BALPA to be a toothless tiger unable to organise a strike against the biggest smash and grab in this companys history how do you suggest that you are going to negotiate anything more than the corporate pay deal, which will be RPI at most? If you want a decent pay rise support BALPA now or you'll be getting the same pay rise as the check-in staff and baggage handlers for the next ten years.
