Does anyone not directly involved have sufficient information to comment 
The management appear to be incredibly reluctant to take any measures to prevent or delay the strike; perhaps because maximising the disruption to the public over Christmas is likely to favour their intransigent position.

Truth!

LOL!
No, they are not being reasonable given their highly above market rates of pay and benefits and the financial position of the company.
Just because you have the moon on a stick now does not make it a reasonable position to maintain.

No; they are highly paid and get good bonuses, so they should feel lucky they have a job at this time, not using it to screw BA over. Greed, pure and simple. And doing it at this time of year is just cruel and hateful toward the passengers that pay their wages.
+1lolspie.
No, they should not do this over the christmas period.
This, their timing is very poor.

I dont agree with these idiots tbh...dont think ill be flying BA ever again...well unless its absolutely necessary to do so.
Id rather give my money to a company whos employees dont feel the need to go on strike because they dont get what they want.

No, they've done a good job of shooting themselves in the foot. If it does go ahead and ruins my New Year plans they've lost my business for life and I'll take my travel budget somewhere else.
Ironically I was only flying BA at New Year as a test after my poor experiences with them last year at the front of the plane.
