Chris Darke to be re-elected!!!
BALPA CCs only have until 1 April 2002 to nominate candidates to oppose Chris "Mugabe" Darke in his quest to be re-elected as the BALPA General Secretary. If there are no other candidates he will be automatically re-elected.. .(I think he was hoping to sneak this past the membership whilst we were all busy trying to stay employed after 11 Sep). . .. .It really is time for him to receive the order of the boot. He has enjoyed double-digit pay rises over the last few years (in 2000 he earned £119,707) and has focused entirely on increasing membership numbers whilst achieving very little for existing members. The BA CC has withdrawn their support for Chris Darke and it appears that Capt. John Frohnsdorff is willing to stand against him on a "return BALPA to its members" platform. Good luck John!!!. .. .Chris Darke - you are the weakest link! Goodbye!. . . . <small>[ 14 March 2002, 13:25: Message edited by: Hot Wings ]</small>
