I think that's what will happen with the BA situation. Can you imagine the chaos if BA starts massive flight cancellations? With all of the capacity cuts over the past year or so other airlines simply won't have the seats to accommodate all of the displaced BA passengers. If it does happen it's gonna be messy!

The difference is BA flight attendants do have a contract and they are going on strike anyways. They will bankrupt the airlines and if they are complaining now about passing out drinks how will they like selling lottery tickets on Ryanair.
I just flew with them and the tension in the cabin was bad. You have to get your own drinks now, no biggie but my IFE wasn't working and there was no way I was going to say anything. This guy asked for new earphones and the FA almost bit his head off saying it's 4am UK time.
