You cant expect them to work for the 'greater good' while their employer is a profit making business.

I don't really understand why people think they need to vocalise their support (or lack of) for each particular strike. This is a business disagreement between the employer and employee and, in my opinion, is none of our business. If British Airways can't fulfil their contract with passengers (a ticket for a flight) then that is the companies responsibility.
It goes beyond a private matter when their striking affects a large portion of the public. And they are unionised.

If I have a dispute with my employer I talk to them privately. I don't not turn up to work.

They use the affect on the normal public as leverage. That is why it is a public debate.

And in many cases it is more a dispute between a union and employer rather than the employee.
