Count, you have that the wrong way round.
Just saying no DIRECTLY led to the establishment of Mixed fleet, it didn't preclude it.
I also don't understand why you think the assimilation of BMI would reduce our will to fight? As it stands, if BMI don't get integrated their future is extremely uncertain in terms of the T&C's they would be on in the standalone company under IAG. They would have no protections and BA flight crew would legally be unable to support them if they decided to challenge the company on their new terms.
As it stands we will be one workforce. At the end of the day I am taking a pay cut and a drop in my terms and conditions so the BMI pilots can come into BA and maintain theirs.
