FT Interview with Willie
There is an interview in today's FT with WW in which he is reported as saying "there will be no compromise this time, it is a very different dispute to the last in 2007".
Personally I think the claimed effect of the removal of one crew member from the a/c pales into insignificance compared to the potential disaster that may await most employees of BA. And that is the Pension. If you read the (very long) full transcript of the interview with Willie, the legal powers of the regulator to "fix" an underfunded scheme are frightening.
