In the end Blue Up Good, however unpalatable you found it, the company had to negotiate and settle the dispute with its cabin crew.
Sure Mixed Fleet was formed to to justify all the angst and cost of the dispute, but apparently career progression is a bit of an illusion there as well these days so I am told.
On top of this CSD's have the technology to develop their roles via the iPad, BA are now going to take them out of the cabin service. It didn't save much money anyway compared to the impact on customer service.
If I was a BA First Officer like you, I would be much more concerned with my own career progression, which in your case is currently stalled by Fat Cat senior Captains earning around £200,000 a year. Of course this is what the dispute at Iberia is all about - excessive pay and getting to market rate.
