Once again......
Walsh has I can assure you. His role permits him to take whatever action is necessary in the interests of the company and if the very impressive ballot has not moved him the strike itself certainly will not
No it does not. There are laws relating to industrial action, and whilst BA's management have shown themselves to pay scant regard to the law, they don't get away with it. An impressive strike ballot was never going to move him. Grounded aircraft and no income will. He's got form on that.
It may just mean a marginal improvement in terms but they will soon be dissipated by planned cost recovery action from the management.
How many times must it be said? We are not seeking
any improvement in our terms.
My advice - keep talking
We have been trying to talk since June, actually talking since December and have returned for five days of talking after the ballot result. BA has not moved one inch.
The "glad all over" feeling you may get from seeing a large turn-out will fade when the changes to meet the cost of the strike to the company begin to come home to roost
There was no glad all over feeling in BA, everybody knew a messy strike would be necessary to change to companys mind. Perhaps you don't understand that the future for BA pilots if we lose this one is far, far worse than the costs the company might seek to recover from us. Thats what the whole dispute is about.
