Worth repeating!
How's this for an idea: Members email BALPA with the suggestion of getting some of their more "reknowned" pilots to put their signatures on a bottle of bubbly. Once a few signatures are obtained the bottle can be auctioned off and the proceeds donated to the Haynes fund.
In view of the recent months events, I can think of a few captains / FEs that have been in the media, if their signatures were obtained the bottle could reach a record price.
Also, I'm fairly confident that services could be obtained gratis from the couriers needed to transport the bottle for signing, as well as a free bottle from an established well-known retailer, on a condition they and courier get a small mention on the auction details.
Just an idea...
