That'll dovetail nicely with my planned flight to Dublin on Saturday afternoon.

Of course, if my memory serves me incorrectly, I'll just have to chalk it up to a senior moment.

They have stated today that as the results of their ballot "is so important" they plan to announce the result imminently. This will be for a strike and the results are therefore intended to place further pressure on BA to improve the offer before what is effectively a close of business deadline on Thursday afternoon.
