Scottie don't be naive! You don't think we'll get a vote on the loyalty bonus itself? Look at the pattern over the last 4 years. Every major lifestyle change has been voted through because it formed part of a trade-off package of T&C's. (5/2/5/4 for loss of leave, crew food for reduced pay rise and reduced sector pay, over-60s rights for loss of F/O loyalty bonus, need I go on?)
I bet the loyalty bonus will be voted out by the members because it will be tied in with an attractive pay rise and/or a proper leave offer to replace the GDOs option. Most of our esteemed colleagues will find it hard to say no, especially as the CC will no doubt find many compelling reasons to accept the offer.
The company always gets what it wants - and right now it wants rid of the loyalty bonus. Bye-bye!
