The trial wasn't granted and fast tracked at all. Everyone's entitled to their day in court, almost regardless of how ridiculous their claim is. You are getting your case heard in the standard time frame for a contract law case (and a remarkably similar time frame to BALPAs case, which wasn't fast tracked). BA's lawyers are very confident that the whole thing will then be thrown out by the judge. The reports from somebody who actually was in the court (yes, there was a witness curious enough to go there and report back to the pilot community) doesn't paint anything like the picture of confidence you do. Unites evidence consisted of a few tatty 30 year old contracts, and the judge said (yes, he said) he wasn't minded to grant an injunction. The court hearing was agreed mutually between Unite and BA without the judges intervention, so it wasn't granted by the judge either. You'd think Unite would tell you these things!
