OK, BALPA are doing a c**p job on your behalf. Reinforces the point that someone should be speaking up collectively for the views of those at the sharp end (no pun intended). I earned my living from protecting corporate reputations, and can't quite believe what I read, see and hear about such a high profile and emotive (when things go wrong) industry as commercial aviation. Don't leave it all to RB's offer of free flights and his e-mail address. If journalists and media owners get it wrong, tell 'em and tell 'em again. But they'll only listen if you do it in a language they understand - and that's what you're not doing at the moment. Because silence isn't heard. And don't think, please, that I'm touting for business - golf has replaced
PR. I'm just so frustrated at the lack of a corporate voice for your profession.
