My issue would be that the company didn't see fit to train existing crew to work in the role of purser or CSD instead and give those 'regular' crew who have chosen to "Back BA" so they could gain some experience.
It might be a foolish move on my part, but it's a move I'd feel compelled to make.
You may have a point but nobody is compelling you to take action. You are talking like Unite who say they are compelled to take action, as if BA is holding a gun to their head!
To take IA is like cutting off your nose to spite your face. You will most likely have plenty of time to reflect on the consequences of this whilst you are seeking another job (if not a Unite member).
