Yes, BA has already said that they will remove concessionary travel for six months of anybody who takes strike action. They will allow commuters to keep it for the route that they commute from.
The offer being given to non-members is the 6p an hour pay rise that members voted against six months ago. They are also paying strike breaking Crew up to £200 for commuting costs, which is about the amount that people were hoping to receive in back pay.
The union said in their communication on New Years Day that they are looking into victimisation.
