If you ask me ole "Darke Forces" should really get the heave ho, and bring BALPA back under some sort of pilot control. John is a bloody good bloke who whilst working for the lot on the other side of 27L is not in the union just for BA, and all members would benefit his election. mind you i am not sure exactly how the election process works in this case, i think it is quite arcane. if anyone has any info?
