It is the threat from too many CC to rather see BA go bust than to concede a single penny in concessions ie to destroy my livelihood, that prompted so many other staff in BA to work to keep the airline flying thru previous strikes and no doubt this next one too. Comparisons with Aer Lingus fall down at that point as I have not heard that the EI cabin crew expressing the same stubborness to their Pilots.
