Put your money where your mouths are ad come out, up front, real names and vote for BALPA.
Get BALPA in at your base: fight for it.
Then when your base is closed get BALPA to fight your corner at Tribunal.
2 years later you might get £60K in compensation: don't think Wee Willy's mob (BALPA airline), or the Bearded Wonder's mob (BALPA airline) or Deutsch BMI (BALPA airline) will be beating a path to your doors with job offers.
Can't see the BALPA hierarchy losing much sleep about making their mortgage payments!!
BALPA are in this for the politics: if they actually gave a monkeys about the welfare of the pilots ( cabin crew, engineers and ground staff) at any FR base in the UK, they would stop right now and focus their attentions on helping out the pilots of BA, VS , bmi and any other outfit unfortunate enough to have to deal with them.
