It would be soul destroying to give up large tracts of current agreements only to have BA turn a 12% operating profit 2 years down the line at our expense. (We wish!) That being said, striking is not the way to achieve this.
Which is why flight crew have a share deal built in. Admittedly, it won't cover the losses but the principle for us now exists that we will share in the good fortune should BA recover economically. This option was also previously on the table for BASSA and would probably have remained there had they been prepared to negotiate. Ah, there's that word again.
