Interesting post. You say that one of the main reasons for crew unhappiness is the lack of negotiation. Do you think that this is the fault of BA then? That doesn't seem to be the opinion of an independent judge, in fact he specifically blamed the unions. The deal crew were being offered protected their lifestyles and pay to a large extent. The fact that self serving union reps have led so many hard working crew to the point of strike is a tradgedy.
I do think you are correct though-I am absolutely sure Mr Walsh is not very relaxed at the moment. However, I am equally sure the contingency plans that have been put in place will be extremely comprehensive. If you think any crew member will come out of this strike with a better deal than the one that was recently offered I think you will be sadly mistaken.
