One has to ask, what is it that the cabin crew do, that makes them think they are entitled to these enormous salaries and benefits. If the pilot and co-pilot die will they fly the plane? If there is a medical emergency on the plane will they make the diagnosis? If the plane has a mechanical fault will they strip the engine and rebuild it? Whether you have 15 minutes or 15 years of "experience", cabin crew remain, simply waitresses, albeit with the ability, thankfully untested, to stay calm in crisis and read the crisis instructions. Some may find this insulting but it will not stop it from being true. You get paid for the skills you bring to the job. In the case of the BA Cabin crew, they can't even bring a smile. (By the way I have taken over 250 flights in the last 5 years and BA is Ryanair without the cheap ticket. Only when there is simply no option am I forced to buy BA). Take Control. Fire everyone. Sell everything. Slots, planes, assets including the brand. Fill the hole in the pensions with the money. Pay what’s left to the debt and equity holders. Put the pension in trust and be done with it. This Union doesn't deserve to carry our flag.
