Not flippant at all.
I think I phrased it badly, I guess the question was (succinctly)...would BALPA wait for all appeals to have finished before commencing a strike (if this is the case we could be waiting some time).
As for another ballot, that just makes sense. For all those members who were on the fence before, they are certainly not on the fence any more. Another ballot will be one in the eye for WW as he realises how he has alienated his workforce.
