Unfortunately, I have to agree that many of my former Aerolloyd / Sabena & Dutch collegues on the continental bases seem to consider joining BALPA purely for the legal back-up. I have not met any BALPA rep. or seen any poster as of yet in any of the continental crewrooms. A bit dissapointing really! If we want to increase the memberships within EZY than Gents, wake up! Ezy is about to go big on the continent and with over 10 % of the fleet and staff already based here it would be time to spread those flyers a bit further and show your faces! One or two members per base won't be enough to convince the rest to join.
