Moonraker One and unwiseowl
As yet another outsider, I absolutely agree. What can Easy BALPA members possibly gain from voting Yes? (apart from a laughably pathetic package).
However, if they vote No, BALPA has to go in again, following their fresh instructions and if nothing else this would stop Teflon Ray from crowing and New Road from pushing out premature press statements to the effect that the “pilots have called off the strike”.
Meanwhile a No vote and further negotiation will give time for the Non-BALPA Easy Members to reconsider their position and join pdq.
Remember, Non-Members, if you don’t all get your act together, you’ll be completely shafted and you won’t even be able to whine anymore.
BALPA Members, vote No – it’ll give more time for the joiners and you’ve certainly nothing to lose. Good luck.
