I take it that all the unhappy BA pilots will be leaving BALPA should they 'capitulate' to management? That'll be the day.
BTW, there have been more non-BA pilots than BA in BALPA for a while. I think they have managed ok.
I suspect that there will be a flurry of activity in the ad-hoc market and a surge in profits across the industry if there is a strike.
The pax will just love being flown across the pond in old Jumbos.
