Caveat: All of those cabin crew who are non-unionised or voted "no" should of course be given the utmost help to get home at no cost to themselves.
Would be good, but unfortunately, as it's a sectret ballot, I don't see how this will be possible.
I agree with you, MRKOS, they should have to pay their bills themselves. Fortunately, I don't think I'll be caught up in this (unless it moves/extends 2 more days into January), but if I was stuck faraway, I'd have to pay for my own hotel etc. (well, my company would, but it's my company so same difference), and I'm not the cause of the problem.
