Just to correct a couple of points here:
No-one on the Balpa CC is making a big deal about staff travel.
It's a 'perk' that's currently pathetic, but it's way down the list of priorities.
No-one is suspended or even interviewed for doing a go round - that's complete nonsense.
IF IT WERE TRUE, the Balpa CC would know about it by now and would have addressed the issue.
FACT is, a go around is absoluely fine and the preferred and applauded decision over and above an unstable approach.
Agree completely about no-one wanting to stay till retirement...................why not join Balpa and help us try to turn that around?
There have been a number of resignations recently, mainly to Virgin. Hardly surprising but nonetheless disappointing.
That said, it's circa 30-40 out of 1000, so the ship's far from sinking.
