Which airline do you think BA will throw all of it's resources at? Will it be the one with the best operating margin? If we are not getting the resources we will die, OS will grow, and that will be the end of our jobs. There will be no action that we can take, because anything we do will just accelerate our demise.
The question you have to ask is, "Why are BA prepared to push us to a strike?" They would not take the financial hit if they thought we would still be able to defend ourselves later. This is the battle for them. If they win it, they have beaten us for good. There will be nothing we can do to prevent our downfall if we lose.
Fortunately, at least 84% of us disagree with you. We will end up protecting you, whether you realise that you need it or not.
