What a load of absolute rubbish! There is no truth whatsoever in this rumour. Do feel sorry for the FE's who haven't been treated too well by BA or BALPA. The FE's would need a separate union to strike legally, I've certainly not got anything from BALPA about a strike ballot and to be honest there would be not much support for any action over just 18 guys doing an outdated job.
Didn't the company offer you guys the chance to carry on as Cabin Crew? As the pilots have done in the past?
