But a Yes vote carries no weight - we've already had one and have your complements changed?
The strike is a different animal altogether.
My guess, out of 13500 cabin crew and 10000 Unite members:
6000 vote Yes, equating to about a 80% Yes from 75% turn out. (7500 don't vote Yes)
2000 don't turn up on Day 1 when all cabin crew instructed to attend whether on leave, sick, MBT etc. (9000 do turn up, 2500 crew down route)
BA operate a 50% schedule on day one, increasing by 10% a day.
1000 don't return to work after a week. (12500 cabin crew working plus 1000 volunteers)
Within a week BA running a full operation, 1000 inflexible cabin crew removed, Bassa in tatters.
Anyone disagree?
