blueskybird,
You should get paid normally until the strike begins. If you choose to go on strike, your basic pay, pension contributions and allowances will be reduced by the amount appropriate to the amount of time you strike. If you don't strike but your flights are cancelled, you are unlikely to receive allowances for trips which do not operate. It will be the January pay which will be most affected as BA normally pays December salaries just before Christmas.
Expect something from BA along the lines that all sickness from now until the end of the dispute will be required to be accounted for by a doctor's note.
