For those who object to Joe Public having his/her say about all this; if you don't like it don't use a public forum. There is a perfectly good BALPA forum, probably several, for you to stoke up your indignation in without opposition.
Strike action will, of course, upset Joe Publics plans, and your management will try to lay that blame firmly at your door.
At the risk of being boringly repetitive, Joe Public, as one non-BA pilot contempuously calls those who pay his salary, doesn't give a toss whose fault it is. To her and him, it looks like two children blaming each other in front of an adult. A pox on both your houses, she and he are thinking.
She and he will just find another airline and never, ever, come back to BA. Tens of thousands have done that already after other self-inflicted disruptions, and more are joining them every day. The utter chaos BAA have created at LHR, with BA's assistance, isn't helping, either. many are finding another airport as well as another airline.
So tell me again about "winning" a strike?
