I didnt say your contract is none of your business. What I said was, BALPA memebership levels are none of your business. Your original post was just a fishing expedition, to see if someone would announce the current level. No luck there then.
Who is BALPA? It aint no multimillion dollar private organisation who sets out for huge profits. It is a group of pilots who realisie that collective baragaining is more successful than individual. The rules are set by the pilot members, and these rules include, sensibly, that the bargaining must be done by the pilots within a company group. If you want an organisation to do all your dirty work for you, then best you prepare to offer more than one percent, because that is what it will cost!
Evidence is everywhere, that pilots who stick together, for collective bargaining purposes, will always do better than any other alternative. Conversely the lack of collectivity amongst a good proportion of eJ pilots means we are left accepting much of what the company chooses.
