@ Diplome ... I have not a clue as to how the Union[s] will react. As a completely non-Union person, I would hope they would try to extract the best face-saving deal for themselves, and the best possible financial solution for their members. The evidence to date suggests that only one of those items is on the Agenda.
If I were a betting person, I would suspect that Mr Walsh will just sit back and keep turning the screw. Let us remember that HE is the CEO of BA, not the Unite leadership, and that HE needs BA to be profitable.
Unite has its own Agenda which, it has been suggested, includes leverage on the Labour Party. The livelihood of individual Unite members comes very far down their list of priorities, as recent events have indicated.
