@oggers you are missing the point completely.
No, I took your point but, with respect, didn't respond. What I was doing was making a point of my own ie you wrote:
The why's and wherefore's of the strike are opinions and nothing more....Dismiss all that for a few seconds and THINK.
Followed by:
You tread a very dangerous path for all, in all airlines by supporting BA in getting away with using a "perk" to in effect, discipline or discriminate against anyone who has taken "legal" industrial action. i.e. done nothing wrong.
You've said some interesting stuff but I'm genuinely interested: what is it about your above comment that you think elevates it above the "why's and wherefores" and 'nothing more than opinions'?
