The manifesto for the SINGLE opposer will be out shortly. This is NOT a 'BA' thing. It is about a lot of things that affect all pilots, including the alleged perilous state of BALPA's finances.. .. .When you have a chance to read the proposal, calmly and rationally, and see what the man is offering to do for BALPA = you, I think many of you will see that it has a lot of merit. . .. .The thing that is annoying a lot of people now is the 'rubber-stamping' of a solitary applicant, whether or not he has been good/bad/indifferent etc etc. Democracy does have a place.. .. .Give the opposer a fair chance, for everyone's benefit. At least then it will have been a competition and not a 'fait accompli'.
