The problem of who is where is likely to be solved in the near future, it seems. Some CC will be flying, and some will be job-seeking. And some passengers will be flying with carriers who are not threatened by disruption.

Miners and Railwaymen and Postmen and Bin-Men were/are able to [try to] hold the country to ransom. Somehow I don't think BA Cabin Crew have quite that level of impact. That is the tragedy of this entire dispute; it's just "Baying at the Moon", and the only losers can be Cabin Crew [on BOTH sides of the dispute] and the airline.

If there was ever a lose-lose dispute, this is the one.
If CC win, BA loses and goes bust as it cannot sustain £1m a day losses., so they're out of a job.
If BA wins, they save money - but they have lost passenger confidence, so revenue diminishes until BA implodes, and CC are out of a job.

It really is bizarre.
