Sorry, but I think you are going to be dissappointed. Just as in the last strike injunction, a lot is going to come down to what is 'reasonable'. Just as Loopy Lizzie didn't make any 'reasonable' efforts to stop people who were leaving BA voting (in fact she encouraged it, and it was her own stupid post on the bassa forum that did most to sink their case), the aspect of what is reasonable will come up again.

Ie, in the harshest trading conditions in a generation, with airlines going bust left & right, in the midst of a global recession, with people up and down the country losing their jobs, is it 'reasonable' for BA to ask its cabin crew, who are already paid way more than the nearest competitors, and who are in some cases (EF)about half as productive, to work very slightly harder?

What do you think?
