BALPA have applied for a "Fast Track" High Court ruling. This is estimated to take 6 weeks!

BALPA will win as BA's argument is over Anti Competition Law

The clock then will tick again on 21st April when 7 days notice of strike can be given on either 21st, 22nd or 23rd. So strike will be starting last days of April (my deduction) unless an agreement is reached in the meantime.

BA have been out-foxed and are firmly on the backfoot with the threat of industrial action hanging over them for a while longer, when they thought they had us about to cower under the table and accept their pathetic offers of "assurance". They are now flapping and want to meet again.

BALPA have called their bluff on the legal side and are "playing a blinder"
