If you have been at a Company less than 2 years then the Company can pretty much decide to fire you as it pleases in the UK. I would think, given the turnover at BA, that there are many employees with less than 2 years tenure. However, I would agree that now is probably a good a time to Strike whilst there is a shortage of labour and the recession still perhaps a few months away.
