I’ll say no more on this as you can only view it through a very negatively biased lens. The MOD feel differently from you and that is what counts, your opinion far less so. Feel free to write to your MP with your dislike of this. There is no stitch up here just two organisations making a mutually beneficial arrangement. It is not exclusive, anyone from another airline can also approach the MOD with a similar offer if they feel it to be worth while for them. It is not BAs or the BACCs responsibility to protect anyone’s jobs other than those of the people they represent, BALPA on a larger basis can do whatever their members ask them to do.
But I can't help wondering if this would include stitching on and wearing two flying badges simultaneously, for identification purposes only of course.
