If you step out of your office or flight deck to look around this company you'll find that the majority of our crew are extremely
ed off. And if you took the time to sit down personaly with the crew to ask them how they feel you will start to realise that it is infact the majority of our crew who feel this way.
Take that 30% you mention and add to it the other 30% who didn't feel confident enought to return the form or who didnt recieve or return a form due to postal issues, now add it to the % of crew who voted no but will not cross a picket line and however you look at it this is formidable.
I prefer facts rather than assumption. The numbers don't lie; it's a
minority of the cabin crew than forced the strike view. If another 30% are a
ed off as you say, they would have voted. They didn't vote, so you can't make any assumptions about how they feel.
Your assertion seems to be that 30% voted yes to strike; 30% wanted to vote yes to strike, and everyone else won't cross a picket line.
How about a scenario where 30% voted yes to strike, and of those a large chunk will be crushed by the company when they realise a strike is really going to happen; they're not going to be paid; there is no further offer and the company has enough staff actually working to ensure minimal disruption. Meanwhile, you no longer have a 4.8% offer and you've lost a lot of money standing around in the snow with a placard while the passengers glare at you for ruining the holiday they've saved up all year for.
Now, my scenario is all conjecture, but as plausible as yours. However, when has anyone let facts get in the way, eh?
