Well... my reading of what has gone so far is that bmiCC want to talk, but have only been met with dictate, so they have nothing to lose.
I basically agree with all above, but to quote some politician, "we are all in this together!".
I don't think that bmi pilots are expecting much but there is no need to jump up and down on their dignity either.
My fear is that, as with the politician, we will soon seen that some are "in this together" more than others.
