Fimbles, your exactly right, if we had a company council that represented ALL pilots and was voted for by ALL pilots we wouldnt be in the mess we currently find ourselves.
Cetainly give the chaps in Tangerine towers a shock, at the moment it is all too easy for them to walk all over us. They know that BALPA is not well represented so divide and conquer is simple.
With management targets of "cut costs across the operation", "reduce pilot numbers", "get max hours out of the pilots", how can we expect them to give way on anything we accept now.
If they dont hit there targets they dont get their bonus, and thats what matters, our lifestyle is a distant second........lets not kid ourselves eh!
Oh and Flaps 1, didnt I hear that this outfit use Southwest as a role model ??!!
