OK, I'll bite... despite
Not much to be said now until the ballot result is announced on the 21st...


BA FAIR MANAGER - I could believe you were what your handle infers you might be, because your first posting (in this persona ) is very similar in style to BA's official comms on this issue:

a) is vindictive and petty
b) does not address the clear, single issue this boils down to
c) is difficult to understand
d) is written from a standpoint of ignorance (have you seen the PL/OS business plan? - No? - nor have BALPA, that's why we're worried)

BA pilots' individual war-chests are irrelevant. BA's war chest could be £350m+ bigger if our management had not squandered it on fines.

So we have a hectoring management paying lip service to modern employment practice (with all the corporate nonsense on the intranet) whilst peddling unclear communications, at the same time refusing to address the single issue of concern raised by BALPA almost 12 months ago.

To the uninitiated, this would suggest there is a pocket lining incentive here ??
The only pockets planned on being lined are those belonging to the management team which stands to benefit from the bonuses expected for setting up a 'double-breasted' operation within BA.

BA pilots will not tolerate being forced to compete for their own jobs.
BA pilots are not afraid to stand up to a bullying, greedy management.
