But you are only looking at one side of the equation.
It is said that the pilots are looking for 7% share of the profits (circa £150m / year?). As an example just say they go on strike another 10 times, but then realise they are getting nowhere and return to normal working. Total cost to BA is circa £400m, total saving to BA by not giving in to pilot demands is £150m a year in perpetuity.
I know this is just an example, but in this scenario I know what the shareholders would want.
