Juan, are you another pilot suffering from selective memory loss? This is a worrying trend. The reason for the strike was that BA imposed change. There was nothing that could be done to prevent BA starting up a separate fleet if it wanted to, anymore than the pilots could frustrate the start of BAExpress. You lot have learned your lesson hopefully with OpenSkies.
In the end a negotiated and honourable settlement was made that protected Legacy contracts. Better than any deal offered by Walsh - take it or leave it style.
The only problem was that to get to a negotiated settlement, it cost BA a minimum of £200m plus.
