I gather that what is left of BACON management are getting concerned by the mass negativity regarding the ballot of (amongst others) the engineers and the cabin crew. Cabin crew managers at MAN today doing rounds of the crewroom saying there would probably have to be another ballot because "people don't understand the issues and are all voting
NO".
I haven't met one cabin crew or one engineer yet who has voted "yes".
Also pilots will only be balloted when BALPA is ready (and will definitely not be dictated to by the grand fromage).
I particularly liked the bit by Willie Walsh in Times today sprouting forth that of course all his regional services operated by BACON would be unaffected by the cabin crew strike next week. Ha - someone should point out to the press that he has already shafted and given away his BACON saviour.
