Do you agree to strike until Katy Perry and Russell Brand split up? They just seem wrong together.
Do you agree to strike until our CEO is as cool as Richard Branson?
Do you agree to strike until Willie Walsh changes his name to something sexy like "Lance" or "Dirk" or "Optimus Prime"?
Do you agree to strike if we don't screw up this ballot?

Just for a change …
Here is a rather different view from what we usually get from Prof. Gall and the “academics”:
Gregor Gall, professor of industrial relations at the University of Hertfordshire, says Unite's failure to secure a deal so far could feature in the contest to replace the outgoing joint general secretaries of Unite – Woodley and Derek Simpson.
"Whoever wins the general secretary election is going to head a union that has not come out with flying colours. People will ask why the biggest union in Britain has not wrapped this up with a better outcome than exists so far." With another ballot looming, Unite will have another chance to prove the doubters wrong. But BA will get another opportunity to chip away at its members' resolve.

Sheesh people, I'm playing by myself here...and I obviously have too much time on my hands this evening...but finally, as the cocktail is poured..
Do you agree to strike to send Willie Walsh a message because we're sure he'll listen this time. No really...trust us.
Do you agree to strike until Staff Travel is fully reinstated to all Cabin Crew members...though we don't really use it, its trivial, it doesn't matter, don't think it makes a difference..it's not about Staff Travel..its not about that, its..its...its about our Dignity. Yeah...that's it. Our Dignity. You can take away our Bouncy Castles, you can take away our buses to fall out of, you can take away Billy Bragg (seriously..you can take him), you can take away our Willie Walsh knickers, you can rip our Willie Walsh devil faces from our innocent kiddies fingers, you can even take away our offer to sh*g loaders, but you can't take away our DIGNITY
