Incidentally, the pilots will not strike.
Big Mach - amazing, you can predict the results of a ballot that's not even been called yet, and then go on to state what will happen as a result!
FWIW, if this goes to a ballot, all the indications from BALPA members are that they will vote in favour. Whether there is a strike or not will then be up to BA - they can fund BALPA's 'position' - if they choose to. If so, no strike.
