The strike cost BA much less than they had planned for due to the large number of volunteers and reporting crew, so there is (apparently) no need to claw back extra savings from crew.
Not quite. The offer is now about getting all back to work and ending the strikes. Once that is done, the company still has to claw back some strike costs from the cabin crew group ...... and so it should. After all, why should everyone else, who met the requirements of the business plan, have to pay for the intransigence of one group of employees?

I know that not all cabin crew were directly involved in the strike, but a majority did vote, twice, for strikes. Careless use of a vote like that is going to have consequences, for all cabin crew, unfortunately.
