Possibly. I guess it depends on what they have to offer. As it looks like now, no.

You only need to go back a few years and you will probably remember the dispute we had in 2008 when one of the main point was about BA honouring 2007's settlement deal.

By my answer I meant that BA has in the past not kept their part of the deal. Same answer for you as to Beagle9. No need to go into details about it because it was one of the reasons as to why we were in another dispute with the company in 2008 and if you were here at the time you would also know about it.

A union should be allowed to protect its member and by control that includes to make sure that this new fleet is not taking any job from us.

I don't know your previous experience with the company but WW can be a lonely place and as you know it depends on both destination and crew. I recently did a BKK/SYD and never saw any of the crew downroute except when it was time for pickup as they couldn't be bothered to leave their rooms. It's been worse during the dispute as the strike itself has been a very sensitive topic to discuss and crew have generally not been in the mood of socialising and this is something that will last for some time, which is something you need to prepare yourself for. I was in JNB some days before the strike was due and the bar, which is usually very crowded with crew, was almost empty.
On the other hand, and here comes the nasty bit, you were brought back to the company for the sole purpose of breaking our strike. It makes you no different from any of the ground staff or pilot who have volunteered to act as cabin crew. Many crew, myself included, are disappointed about this behaviour. Some crew are even furious and boiling mad over it. This is something you have to put up with as you chose to come back to the company during difficult times, especially to a very unionised company as BA. The saying goes "as you lay your bed..." and this is the situation for you. I am probably one of the more relaxed ones who wouldn't intimidate, trying to engage you into some strike talk or say anything nasty but just prepare yourself for some less pleasant situations in the future just in case because there are crew up there with ZERO tolerance when it comes to strikebreaking.
