Actually Owen the union is coming across of a pack of rat bags that only talk of striking.
As for cutting conditions etc, unless I am mistaken that is not actually what BA are trying to do. The main issue is cutting the number of cabin crew on long haul flights, through natural attrition. The union claim it will lead to poorer service (how you can get any worse is beyond me though) and is dangerous, despite their numbers still being higher than other airlines and also above regulatory requirements.
I just hope the actions of the striking cabin crew doesn't leave to the downfall of BA, already a lot of people are sick of all the uncertainty that surrounds flying BA and are talking of taking their business elsewhere. I for one have already done that, recently book some holiday flights to the US in May, and as there was talk of strikes I booked on AA, despite them costing about 50GBP more.
