It may surprise you but I would not recommend you take a course of action that would lead to industrial dispute.
Thanks...Given the style of your posts may I ask if you are making that recommendation as an official of a union, an elected representative of the same, or as a member of BA management?

I may not have access to the BALPA forum but I do have access to Pilots in a social setting.
A bar somewhere downroute or coffee bar in Crew Report Centre ?

Perhaps it’s my ‘militant’ aura that brings out the inner socialist in others but I am not hearing a lot of love for the ‘Yes’ vote.
Ah but if you'd listened more carefully you'd have realised there's even less love of the possible or probable consequences of voting 'No', so I humbly suggest you overestimate the power of your "aura", militant or otherwise. The whole situation is probably best described as being "between a rock and a hard place", or "darned if you do, darned if you don't" .

As an aside I wonder how many of the workforce at BA will find the "reassuring news" you refer to at all "reassuring" or a "relief"? I suppose that's an argument for our cabin crew colleagues and will no doubt be hotly debated on another part of Pprune ( Two years down the road I'm still banned from that particular forum.....I wear that sanction with pride.....)
