I do not believe BALPA will go on strike. Nothing has been said for nearly a month. My opinion is that they have got cold feet over a strike and will accept the BA offer. Otherwise, why have they not come out for a strike ballot like the cabin crew? Any pension deal would have to apply to all groups of BA staff and nobody has been offered any more by BA.
BALPA has wound the troops up to a fever pitch and my guess is they are now wondering in New Road how to eat humble pie over the NAPS pension.
Whoop - your location 'out of the loop' is self-evident as your posting shows that you are certainly not 'in the loop' on this issue!
BALPA and BA are still in negotiations. If this goes the wrong way for BALPA they will issue a ballot. If anyone is getting cold feet it's the management penguins

Better to ask BASSA why they are pushing a ballot on a strange mix of issues at this precise moment? BALPA's strategy is clear.

nobody has been offered any more by BA.
How do you know that?
