I'm pleased that the thread's been restricted to current crew too. It was good move.
I've followed this entire saga since early last year as I book BA flights regularly and like to know what's going on.
My impression is that the original reasons for the dispute are now lost in the mists of time and that no-one really knows why they're on strike anymore. Or more importantly, how they think they're going to resolve this.
I still find it very sad that so many hard-working and decent crew members even now are unable or unwilling to see that they are simply being used as fodder in a Union's internal power struggle.
