[QUOTE]This leads the reasoning behind the "I will strike until I get what I want or BA goes bust" mentality. It is for many their only option - if they see a major reduction in their T&Cs they may as well risk the bankruptcy and dissolution of BA, as the option of leaving would lead to a major reduction in their T&Cs. The end result for them is the same - hence the vehemence of their rhetoric./QUOTE]
There is another option......accept the deal. T&C's intact, job safe, pay rise, guaranteed monthly earnings, staff travel etc.
I'm starting to wonder whether it might be better if they did reject the deal so that Willie Walsh can get rid of them for once and for all, either by sacking due future strikes, or 90 days notice. The big problem with the second of those 2 options is that a lot of good people (BA backers) would probably lose their T&C's as well
