They wouldn't have won anyway.
Just how do you know, HF?
Those pilots at BA were so sure of themselves (as well as being slightly full of themselves...at least most of the ones who post here) that they apparently felt that 'they' were in control.
Now, they certainly are in control of the aeroplane while in operation, but that certainly does
not transfer over to the company...and the management thereof.
For BALPA, no money, no honey (speaking here, honey coated conditions, etc).
Will they learn from the obvious BALPA mistakes?
Quite likely not, as has been proven time and again, in the past.
I can only laugh at their (collective) naivety.
