Much as I suggested in post #1598.
Except that I do not expect BA to go to court, but merely to tell Unite that they believe the strikes related and therefore unprotected and leave Unite with the problem.
If they then strike BA can suspend any strikers and choose what to do at their leisure while running a full service at LGW, LCY and LHR LH. The strike will very quickly collapse as BASSA members hear that strikers are all being suspended.
BASSA have offered up on a plate the dream solution to BA at every opportunity, one could not imagine a more incompetent set of union leaders (sorry wrong word), representatives.
They have replaced the Australian cricket team in my view in the joke:
