Yup, RYR threatened to change the roster, tranfers, close bases and do reverse rotations during the previous balpa campaign. Everyone looked at balpa and asked, we know they will do this, what will you do to stop it? Nothing was stopping RYR transferring voters out and putting cadets in, they've done this before to dilute votes. This isn't a company binded by any rules...
They never answered our questions about the threats and the campaign lost its drive. Nothing against balpa, they tried to help us and got experience of the beast we are actually trying to deal with. Now they have that experience and our campaign this time is network wide spearheaded by an association who has vast amounts of experience with RYR.
Cadets are a very big issue. Everyone who has left RYR In the past 2 years, would most likely be yes votes, to be replaced by cadets/dec who are most likely no voters, and we've lost several hundred pilots.
