I'll simply repeat what I posted on the other thread (the one that got moved for some reason). Just replace "baby" with "mainline".
So tell me if I've got this straight, cos I'm struggling with the logic.
In chronological order...
1 ~ The baby pilots vote to go on strike.
2 ~ BALPA sign an agreement with baby management and say "Oops! Oh dear! The authority to strike lapsed, anyway! What a shame. Never mind.", or something along those lines, but with a cleverer (more practised?) use of bull***t?
3 ~ BALPA then say they'll ask the pilots if the fait accompli they just pulled off behind their backs was OK.
That about correct?
I'd sue BALPA if I were you lot! One way of getting a decent pay rise!
