UNITE figures

Let's look at some of the figures.

CEO Basic Salary = GBP750k + bonuses
So? A CEO of a large corporate must be paid well, and arguably Willie Walsh is paid a lot less than some other CEOs.

Revenue already lost due to Christmas dispute = GBP20m
And who caused this?

Pension deficit = GBP3.7 billion
Will going on strike improve BA's chances of closing this deficit?

Two-year pay freeze offered by cabin crew = GBP28m Refused by BA
This is just a lie by UNITE. BA proposed a two-year pay freeze in June 2009 which was rejected by a mass CC meeting but which UNITE was prepared to consider. See BBC NEWS | Business | BA staff reject cost-cutting plan.

And furthermore, this pay freeze isn't just about cabin crew, most of the rest of BA's employees won't be getting a pay rise either.
