So sloppy that even BA solicitors didn't notice for several months - and with a good chance of the decision being overturned this afternoon.

UK strike law is now so complex that it's unlikely that anyone will be able to get a vote 100% right.

As fo the dispute itself - it took under a week for TweedleCam & TweedleClegg to come to a mutual agreement to form a government despite having totally different political outlooks.

Perhaps Willie "A reasonable man gets nowhere in negotiations" Walsh & the unions should learn from this before London Airways goes the same way as the docks, mines, steel & car industries.

Willie has a very telling article in The Times today in which he says that he's standing up to the militants. BUT Willie used to be one of those militants at Aer Lingus. Now he's become exactly like the management of the docks, mines, etc who wasted money fighting battles and reaching pyrrhic victories when a little less aggression and a little more common sense would have paid dividends.

How much money has BA lost since Willie decided that the £10,000,000 gap between union & management was far too big? A lot more I would say - let alone the loss in reputation.

Unless someone starts knocking heads together everyone in London Airways is going to lose - except of course Willie who will have moved on to his next conquest with no doubt a fat protected pension
