BA have not said the pilots cannot strike just that they need to follow the rules, what ever they be. It certainly does not stop the pilots from striking at all so does not effect their rights.
One could also argue that if BALPA doesn't need to know if they are shorthaul or longhaul then do they need to know what type rating they are either. All tbey really need to know is that they are a pilot at X company.
Any one know what is on the application form to join BALPA and what you need to let them know as you progress your career?
