Our thought process goes along the following lines - as litigation would not automatically mean we get it back and the decision could take years, we reps decide it is worth accepting.
Well well just what everyone has been saying all along! I have lost count of crew members have flown with who thought that within weeks crew defense, bassa and unite would secure the return of staff travel! How naive
I have a couple of friends still voting NO, and still banging on about crew defense, I wonder if they can find the 1 million ££ minimum and about 6 years to take this to its final conclusion. (I doubt it)
Remember we did not win this dispute, we did not have the company on its knees begging for mercy, had everyone gone on strike and no VCCs had turned we would have been in a much stronger position and perhaps got both the ST back and pressed ahead with the litigation but as strong as we were we failed to get much of an upper hand.
Once again what every outsider ever thought with this dispute! However its amusing that there is now a petition to keep DH in his current role, and further more banging on about BALPA being kicked out the TUC, pity the TUC don't agree
