Its not poleaxed52 and I'm not Liz whatevers husband
Just remember that the 1 day Lufthansa pilot strike cost LH 50,000,000 euro, and that was only about 50% effective. A strike by crew is not the same as a strike by bus drivers, its a very expensive high stakes game. If they don't bottle it they will win, unless ww vindictively allows BA to go bankrupt. I do agree with you that I expect the crew to bottle it, but if they don't they will win. look at my history I've been out on a pilot strike before, I know what its like, I know how management behave, and also their weakness of their position.
