ON the flip side, with 90% of the cabin crew being union members, 79% of ballots returned (which is a _really_ good turnout, incidentally), and 19% against, only 13.5% of the Cabin crew expressed an active opposition to striking.
That's still an overwealming mandate to strike. I think you have to wonder (given other Airlines aren't having the same problems) whether BA has set out to deliberately antagonise their union, or whether they've done it through gross incompetence. I certainly think this sort of dispute isn't in anyones interest- you just have to wonder how it can have reached this sort of level. Hard line attitudes on both sides, one assumes.
