As an independent observer, I have yet to see any of the evidence that atse calls for from any side so what I see is;
One arrogant group shouting it's mouth off in public..........go down the average UK city high street at the weekend and you will see the same thing as the Pubs kick out.........but atleast they have taken drink!
Jim McAuslan, general secretary of the British Airline Pilots' Association (Balpa), said: "We shall vigorously defend our position in refusing to divulge names of pilots who discuss with one another their problems and aspirations."
So Jim McAuslan would see nothing wrong with the CAA inspectors having a public forum where they comment on the internal company issues that they come across in dealing with BALPA mambers in the course of their work.......or would he?
When BALPA members meet to discuss issues that affect their members they normally do so out of the public eye.........they don't stand in the street and shout for all commers to see.
Why do they not do the same for the REPA website........unless that had the motive of doing Ryanair some damage through bad publicity?.
But unions don't ever want to do public damage to the employer because that would be detrimental to the union objectives of fair pay and good working conditions.............unless the "union" had other motives.
