I keep thinking of re-joining BALPA when I hear of what is going on in the industry. And then I read comments from people like A-3TWENTY who are just yobs straight from the 70s here in the UK. If I was management and found that an FO had been denied flying rights from a captain because he was not in the union - the captain would be sacked and out the door that afternoon.
Therein lies my dilemna - do I unwittingly support the likes of MOL by not joining the union or do I join and have to put up with the outrageous and totally unacceptable face of union ignorance as exemplified by A-3TWENTY? What a terrible choice!
