Well Desertia, you are running to some sort of personal agenda here which is devoid of all reality regarding what is actually going on. I see you did not highlight the last sentence which states that "the odds are against him".
High Flyer14, likea lot of cabin crew you do not look farther than the end of your nose. With New Fleet will come temporary contracts and part time working. There will not be any permanent contracts on that fleet. To take a linear view on New Fleet further down the line, agency staff will be employed to take advantage of the UK's weak employment laws. Air France would not be able to start a "New Fleet".
YOu are completely wrong, there is no win-win situation here for BA's cabin crew. You might believe it, but thousands of your colleagues do not. The strike is everything to do with imposition, not the smoke and mirrors propaganda you are peddling.
