The logic is: BA are so close to busting our trade union. This has been their goal since the onset of this dispute. The majority of crew have seen and witnessed their underhand tactics, and are savy enough to now know that cost cutting was never the bigger picture. The reward through busting Bassa, will give them a free hand to work us to the bone for the minimum pay. They are now steam rolling through our agreements on a daily basis, and it will only get worse. Our only option is to fight, or we lose any remaining employment protection.
In fact, my prediction is we will all be working to a new fleet (scheme) contract within 2 years, if BA succeed. You only have to look at other airlines who have had their union busted to see what the future has in store.
