What would be interesting to know is how many people signed and returned the individual offers that BA sent to all cabin crew. Only BA knows the answer to this, and I suspect they're not going to share with the rest of us. However, given the large number of non-voters in the Union ballot, I'd have a small bet that large numbers of actual Union members have accepted the deal as individuals, signed the "I wasn't in the Union, honest" declaration, and sent back to BA. If this is the case, then why would they bother voting in the Union ballot? Indeed, if they did they'd be at greater risk of losing the deal if Unite could show they'd done this when they're really subject to the collective agreement. I guess the accuracy of my theory will become apparent if and when Unite ballots for more strikes.
