I think that that is quite correct. It never was a proper strike at all in Australia in 1989. But it was Australian not Qantas who were in dispute.
It seems to me that, except that it is a truism that industrial disputes are undesirable at any time, the history of the 1989 Australian pilots' dispute has nothing to teach BA or BALPA.
