Noflare,
Firstly, I am the Balpa Chairman about whom you posted this ridiculous rumour. To say it contains very little truth is an understatement.
Leave bids were always going to be put out for the 5/2/5/4; it was logical to assume that this would happen since the overwhelming majority of crews on the trial were in favour of it. The proposed leave arrangements have caused this furore, but this is the best deal available from the company through negotiation. PM me if you wish to discuss.
