I would think that BASSA/Unite's biggest problem now is that not only are they facing the prospect of seeing

our members and our union humiliated, victimised and reduced to ruins, as you seem to want
but the strikers and their leaders have become a national and now an international joke, with their absurd claims and assertions.

Laughter is the most effective weapon that BA has, and all that Willie Walsh has to do is to ignore the Unite people until the strike has finished totally collapsing. Then he can sack the hard-core who will leave pursued by ribald laughter, and good riddance.

Heathrow is now back to 80% of the scheduled service. I very much doubt if there is a single person outside Unite and a few, very few disgruntled and delayed passengers who would care in the slightest about the strikers getting their travel privileges back unaltered, as the price of restoring the final 20% today, as opposed to by the weekend. It's time for a reality check for the strikers. But then that's been true for a long time.
