Couldn't agree more, but it will still take a long time before any of the big companies are actually negotiating with them as the main point of contact.
I am only aware of British Midland (or whatever thay will be called next week) at East Midlands that have the ALAE as their main representatives.
Please correct me if i'm wrong.
Also I don't think many unlicensed people are aware the ALAE will represent them.
Spread the word.
