I'll be adding my name to the long list of no's. I find it amazing that anyone could even consider this as a good deal. There are a few about in both the "yes" and "not sure" camps. I'll be asking them to have a good hard look at it and understand how little is set in stone and how many caveats have been written in.
A massive thanks to the CC on the hard work so far and I don't expect this process has ever been easy, but I am wondering why this is even going to a vote considering the results of the consultation document? I just hope BALPA members vote as strongly as the consultation suggests they will that we can hold our collective nerve.
Finally I was rather surprised at the level of cynicism employed in writing the company newsletter on the subject. Good points cherry-picked with the bad completely omited, massaging of figures and just far too much spin. I expected it to put the deal forward in as good a light as possible but it was at best misleading and at worse lying.
