thanks for the reply MR7958. Thats very useful information as Im due to fly VA to Orlando 4th September for a fortnight. Guess I might have to prepare for a delay home if the ballot is called and action voted for. Im pulled in two directions as I believe that if the facts are as reported above the pilots have every right to put a stop to their T +A's being eroded and would support their action. But I also would have two very disappointed little girls who wont get to see Micky for the first time after a long anticipation period so I also have a selfish interest! Hope things get corrected before it becomes necessary to take IA.
