I have no doubt that appathy will win the day, many wont vote and the silent majority will vote YES for not other reason than they believe the threats ("this is our final offer") and are desperate for the 3% (about 3 grand for a skipper after tax).
What amuses me most is that for the last twelve months, after beer and girls, cockpit conversation invariabley turns to "how the company farked me over last month"/"joycie is a prick"/"howard is a prick"etc etc etc and after all that chest beating and d!ck waving, these exact people are going to lock us in for 5 years to a "workchoices" EBA when legislation to reverse some of it goes to parliment in a matter of months !
Is it worth rushing into an average deal that locks us in for yrs for 3k ?!
No but pilots are weak as piss when it comes to a ballot.
