2-Tone, there are so many false assumptions in your posting that I hardly know where to begin...
I don't think BA is filing for pre-pack administration on the basis of your bullet points...
The court hearing is 1 Feb where I expect BASSA will lose and also have any future strike declared illegal. The ballot, if issued, will clash with the court hearing so I don't know what BASSA are thinking there. Too many kitchens to fit in March?
Crews may vote for a strike but will report for work or be sacked. So no, BA is not 'effectively dead'.
Keep on talking us down, though (are you hoping to pick up some cheap shares, like me?
)
