Right with you 1stClass.

There have been many comments around how a YES vote would send a message to BA.

But a good NO vote (even if not the majority) would send an equally strong message to BASSA/Unite.

This is a great opportunity for those crew who want to protect their livelihoods to send that message.

To all the naysayers,

Getting round the table again would be a very well respected move. By doing so you can have some influence over the changes that are coming.

And they are coming - no matter how angry you get or how much you rattle your gilded cage.

How often have you heard the phrase "don't bite the hand that feeds you".

BASSA have done exactly that but sadly, its fast becoming clear that they have bitten off more than they can chew.

Its time to accept that the glory days are over, guys. But you still have the chance to have a say - don't throw that away because you believe all the hype.

There will be no payback in February. Even if you win the case, where do you think the money will come from? Its the bigest of the empty promises your union are making you.

Very sad indeed that you can't be represented by people like you.

Once you strike its game over, possibly for everyone.
