As said previously RAD ALT ALIVE so many holes in your argument.
Your first point.
Strike goes ahead
We are not going on strike, at least not until the very end and even then they will be stop work meetings. What
will happen is work to rule, not extending etc. We will still be in the planes and flying/available to fly, we will just not be going the extra mile. I would suggest similar to the engineers not doing overtime last dispute, this will be enough to cost management a lot of $$$. Hopefully not at the disruption of too many customers, unfortunately though they are like civilians in a war (innocent casualties)-not acceptable in my opinion-but management can stop this war whenever they choose. After that there are other avenues. To suggest that all 1700 pilots are going to walk off the job so QF can lock everyone out and try on your scenario, well that would be stupid.
Stay the cause guys (and girls!), support AIPA. With unity we can and will see sanity prevail. And if somehow it doesn't I guess Emirates, Etihad and Qatar will have sorted out their short term tech crew needs.
