I am group two. I will strike if necessary.
Given that at the last elections the new reps were by their own admission some of the most militant and vociferous of the group dissatisfied with previous representation why would anybody believe that they want to back pedal over a strike?
The amount of polling done has proven the immense level of support BA BALPA enjoy which is why BA's position has moved significantly - twice.
Read the BA BALPA website to fully understand the history and situation so far. And if one rep. in particular tells me that a deal on offer is likely to be the best I will vote accordingly.
