However, also in fairness... I do agree that there are a lot of very good people in the workforce who do the job on a daily basis, pilots, crew etc. Ill served by the management unfortunately. When I was there Balpa struggled to deal with this brave new world of immoral management and the creeping Ryanairisation that is endemic in the industry. The previous 'partnership ' between reasonable managers and the pilot union has been ripped asunder. I don't want to be harsh to the guys / gals there now but it is disappointing to see where it has gone. A view shared by us old fogeys. Good luck anyway.
