I think the best that can be hoped for, is that the company implement this offer regardless of the ballot result, and hopefully the few who are still talking about industrial action start to realise the futility of a strike.
EVEN THOUGH 60% VOTED NO, THAT 60% OF VOTERS IS A MINORITY OF THE WHOLE CABIN CREW ESTABLISHMENT. THERE IS NO STRENGTH IN THIS POSITION, YOUR UNION COULD NOW EASILY BE DESTROYED FROM WITHIN. DON'T LET IT HAPPEN. A STRIKE NOW, WILL NOT GET WHAT IS WANTED.
A strike now, will destroy the Cabin Crew union in Virgin, and destroy any hope of achieving something meaningful in the future. If you fail to see this and continue down a path of obvious self destruction via pointless industrial action the image of the all trade unions will be damaged. Trade unions have come a long way since the seventies, and a lot of people have worked very hard to achieve their present standing, so don't send them back, NO-ONE WILL THANK YOU. And certainly not the pilots.
