As one of IB's reps confessed to SEPLA's leader(Justo Peral), "i was ordered to NOT reach an agreement,no matter what".

Take no prisoners,show no mercy,divide,darken the results,throw the money into the effort like you didn't care.
In contrast to the few BA pilots in this forum who are pointing the finger at SEPLA for not caving in is the quietly supportive,cautious attitude of BALPA in this affair.Just in case.
