The creation of Mixed fleet has been of tremendous benefit to BA - driving down costs, increasing profitability and allowing new rotes to be launched. In many ways BA don't want the vast majority to remain on-board long term - they would prefer people towards the bottom end of the scale.
The big problem for the Union is that mixed fleet are limited in number and the airline can carry on operations as normal with WW, EF and a little help from friends. Compare this to the previous summer action at WW, EF, Catering, etc. The airline was effectively grounded for days. That just doesn't happen anymore. Unless BA upset flight crew.....
