If it was such an issue, then BA could have kept flying albeit without catering.
It seems to me that the ground crew were encouraged to walk out, presumably by the union, others who are not in the union followed like sheep, and all supposedly in illegal sympathy of the GG strike.
I'm sure we're not seeing all the picture, but the facts as I see them don't add up to a consistent story.
There was catering on several flights but eventuallt they ran out of prepared food and then there was none left.
The union would not have recommended it. Its illegal for the union to give advice like that.
