BA Pilots Strike
I understand your helpful position to your junior pilots.
However my view is unchanged.
BALPA has not had a strike involving ANY of the current pilot workforce save your senior group. It is easy to talk tough when you have never been tested.
The last BALPA BA strike was nearly 30 years ago over merging BOAC and BEA.
Since then in every case BALPA has struck a deal with BA.... always talk of a strike but it never happened.
APS BALPA allowed NAPS to start as long as APS pilots were protected.
NAPS BALPA allowed BARP to start as long as NAPS pilots were protected.
This has led to the current situation.
With so many different groups wanting different things it will be impossible to hold a strike together when BA gets tough ,and it will, have no doubt .
We will soon know the answer BALPA cannot stall for ever.
