I do like the way you try and undermine the factual information I try to post

PP I think times have changes re knowing membership figures and this latest poll was as accurate as it can get. Amicus are now working closely with Bassa so it was a joint poll.
The information I posted regarding actual membership numbers is not some wild guess, it came from BASSA itself I have paraphrased it below just in case you are no longer a member

This is because when informing BA of strike dates they have to by law inform the company how many crew will be asked to participate in the action. Those figures are obtained by the payroll deduction information that is provided on a monthly basis by the pay office
But lets think about it.......

BASSA have circa 10,000 members, it is more than likely less than this figure, but 10, 000 makes the math easier

7100 decided to vote on the online poll and 81% rejected the offer thats 5751 crew, almost the same amount who voted for strike action back in February.

BA have circa 13000 crew and 3400 VCC and temps combined, how effective do you think strike action will be?

My hope is that BASSA go for the 20 days as this should bring issues to a head fairly quickly However what cabin crew should be asking is how prepared are BASSA for June 12th when the company can sack all the strikers??

It seems no one wants to ask or answer that question.
