Legal advice from those at the top of BASSA has been unreliable throughout this dispute, indeed it was LM's advice that was the reason that one of the early attempts at a strike was prevented by BA. It was the advice that you could still vote for a strike even though you would have left the company due to VR, if I recall correctly.
DH also believed that he could decide when he would turn up for work. He believed that BA could not sack him as he was engaged in union work. Sadly BA and the subsequent employment tribunals re-educated him on this matter. It would be a shame if any CC lost their careers at BA while following advice from such a source.
With all things related to your job and future livelihood it is best practice to get advice from an independent lawyer that specialises in these matters rather than from an interested party. Still, I suppose, if you are so foolish as to believe advice from such an unreliable or interested source then you deserve all that flows from such an act. Industrial Darwinism at its most dangerous.
