Should we get union recognition and Ryanair try to withdraw anything we will have the legal right to withdraw our labour - something that would bring the company to it's knees in a very short time.
At STN we have a huge number of F/Os, most days I fly with someone that I've never seen before and I always ask if they are in BALPA - to my huge disappointment the vast majority are not.
Therefore what the ERC is asking us to vote for is preferable to the 2% we have now.
