Those who've lost staff travel will certainly argue it shouldn't have become involved! Others might say that BASSA have been far to quick to call for strike action in the past and this time they need to understand that actions have consequences. BA have a right to defend themselves against industrial action, why should the BASSAmentalists get away scot free? Perhaps strikers in other industries don't have the benefit of non-contractual perks which their employers could choose to revoke.
