Sorry shortfinal, they,(The powers that be at BA.} are NOT
stupid.
They have forged a wonderful situation where THEY can't lose.
The Terminal 5 fiasco has been manipulated and has put the
flying members in the position where they CAN'T strike without
getting the blame for bringing the Company to it's knees.
Possibly TERMINALLY, if you see what I mean.
It's been a really BRILLIANT move.
BA is in the situation where it could go down the drain totally,
and the Pilots get the blame, Not the inept(?) management.
Think about it.
