I suspect that the majority of posters on here would say that DH & Co have led BASSA poorly (or perhaps appalingly), perhaps citing the loss of ST and wages, the lack of a payrise, the introduction of MF, the loss of respect for cabin crew amongst their BA colleagues and the public, the antagonistic attitude to their excellent employers etc etc.

However, I rather suspect the 5,000-odd yes voters would say they are perfectly happy with the leadership who portray themselves as Martyrs to the cause standing firm against a vindictive employer

The 3,000-odd who seemingly can't be bothered to vote on their own futures would appear unlikely to care who leads them.

The no-voters are in a significant minority, and its possible that some/many have left BASSA following the latest ballot result.

I rather suspect therefore that there would be little opposition from the BASSA members if DH&Co were to install themselves as permanent salaried officials.
