He's not exactly going to find another few hundred pilots to fly his aircraft and he ain't going to be able to take the financial pain from a fight with a union.
He won't have to find a few hundred pilots...all he'll have to find is 49, just as CX did when their 'association' wanted to generate trouble.

The company has the upper hand, fact.
Companies always have the upper hand, fact.
Companies will continue to have the upper hand, fact.

I can only LOL at some of the nonsense postings here to the contrary.

A previous poster was right, BALPA looks after the older guys at BA, the younger ones are left to fend for themselves....and have the less favorable terms to prove it.
