So the non-union members can get a different contract.
And those in the union can get the same one if the ballot rejects a strike.
Then perhaps, finally, BA will SOSR the remaining CC who are left on the old T&Cs. (And perhaps most the reps?)
That way all the crew would have been able to accept, and if most do, leaving only the militant, perhaps they will SOSR them to Mixed Fleet, hoping they reject the contract and hence quit....
What BA will do if there is a strike, I don't know. But they must be getting closer to the "nuclear" option.
And I wonder if BA now regret holding up the Xmas strike ballot? Snow delays mean they aren't flying anyway....
