This is a complete cluster **** from BALPA.
They recommend the deal.....OH wait a minute NO They don't but they won't say it formally. instead they sneak round the back of easyland and try and get a wee bit more...... while the managers are going round the network to sell the original deal (and they will.)
my prediction. managers sway the weak ones. the CC pull out a TINY TINY improvement in the sector equation and the vote goes through because everyone has lost any faith in the process.
a few voices will be vocal but as usual Flaps 1 and Colonel klink will come steaming back in gushing about how hard life is with the usual 'you do better - you don't know how hard my life is' nonsense they always use.
the CC have tried hard but have been roundly beaten. while this is bad enough the big loss will be the HUGE drop in BALPA membership. I've already apologised to the guy I forced to join.
