    some figures that I have just received about the new ballot out of 14500 cabin crew members only 6000 actually voted of that 5000 (35%) voted for strike action 1000 for no Strikes that makes (65%) are happy with the situation if my sums are right 43% would equate to about 6500
    Now BA have about 65000 staff in total so less than 10% want to strike 90% don’t

    10% trying to hold the company to ransom yet again

    Correct Bemused
    BA is no longer the Dinosaur it used to be, WW saw the light and could see the company dying on its feet after Years of Managers not evolving the company to fit with the times,unions who dictated to mangers what was going to happen and this is what is sticking in the unions crop
    Other unions including BALPA ,GMB. ect were asked and did negotiate with BA and all agreed with terms to suit both, BASSA decide not to bother and in the end BA was forced to issue the 90 days notice

    But if you are right about it only being 1% of BA staff that are holding the rest to ransom…how and why did 43% vote in favour of more strikes?

    It wasn’t 43%of staff it was 43 %of those cabin crew who actually voted and remember there has never been a 100% tun out If I remember less than 40 % actually voted in the last ballot before this one

    No one but cabin crew have been balloted as its a dispute between CC and BA

    If the Unions don’t want to negotiate then what , and that is the sticking point
    BA have already offered a generous package including staff travel back to those who striked in the first place all be it with lose of seniority for three years (when WW promised not give that perk back)
    Another point is the fact that a majority of Staff have agreed to the changes and its minority about 1% of BA staff that are holding the rest to ransom

    It happened at my work and those who did not agree to the terms were given 90 days notice of change of contract or were given the opportunity to take redundancy
    BA also served on those who did not agree the 90 day notice and these were /are the one who want to strike

    PS hope you keep your job Cloud 9

    I think Boeing are trapped a bit,
    Do they go down the route of a new design and all the associated problems or do they rehash the 737 design
    It all boils down to the customer and what they want and how much money Boeing are able to spend on developments

    I think that Boeing are seriously stretched at the moment with the 787 and 747-800 problems and have maybe let their sights drop a bit
    I have no doubt that there is a 737 new version in the pipe line but i really think that this is the least of their worries just now

    2011 and BASSA/UNITE are still living in the their little world of dreams
    BA keeps the planes flying and the unions keep losing face ,little support from those with in BA and no support from the travelling public
    Every time They go on strike the noose gets a bit tighter and the rope a bit longer here,s hoping the new CEO will pull it close and put BASSA out of its misery once and for all
