Vexed

The APD is only a small part of the reason, in fact an excuse.

Base closures will occur not as a strategy to get rid of the APD (Which I do not agree with) but as a way of reducing loss making bases, whilst sending a message to BALPA members that they could be next.

Any of the bases RSS mentioned could be closed within weeks, maybe the loudest shouting for BALPA will be first.

APD is another way for our bankrupt government to recoup some of the billions it has spent rescuing the banks, and will in all cases be increased rather than reduced (As in other EU countries) as long as Brown and his lackeys are in power.

Are you by any chance ex VEX ?

You seem to have lost the plot in more ways than one.
Its not that a common voice or union should represent RYR and Brookfield pilots.
It is that now is NOT the time.

BALPA only works if its a two way street, do you see this happening in the current economic climate.
If so send me a pair of your glasses, as i should love to see the rosey tint.
