The thing is the dispute is now only about perks and reinstating staff.
1) Crew knew BEFORE STRIKING that if they did they would loose their travel perks for life - however from what I understand WW has agreed to give these back - correct me if I am wrong.
WW has only offered to re-instate their travel with a joining date of now so any strikers will lose all on-load seniority, accrued free tickets, etc. Additionally, the new offer came with a rider that the strikers would agree not to pursue BA in court for full re-instatement of staff travel. Many feel that this takes away their rights to legal redress in respect of whether the removal of staff travel constitutes penalising staff for taking part in a legal strike; the case for which is already in progress. If staff travel had been fully re-instated this whole affair would, IMHO be over!
