May I kindly refer you back to the BA PlILOTS TO STRIKE thread that ran for the last 6 months MM?
To be correct the thread title was 'BA pilots 'prepared to strike'? '.
Note the question mark. At no time did BALPA threaten a strike. In that long thread individuals did express their resolve to strike if necessary but that is something entirely different from a union whipping its members into a frenzy with lies and mis-infromation.
Regarding Bidline rules, they may be tweaked but the negatives would far outweigh the positives if they were binned completely.
