You have an image problem and you could start to improve that by standing by the FO on JM. Member or not. They are a colleague and a professional.
Now call me thick but what would be the point of standing by him??? It would send a green light to everyone to not join BALPA and those who are members to consider cancelling their memberships as BALPA will represent you anyway!!!
I am sometime dumbfounded by the naivety found on these boards
I feel for the FO but he made his choice.
Maybe I'll cancel my car insurance, have an accident and then go and get insured for the period starting just before the accident?
Judging by piton post it would seem hopefully the Captain won't need BALPA assistance or the FO other assistance
