Flaps 1 your tone is not helping your case.
I have not received any information in my drop file nor have I seen ANY BALPA publicity in my crewroom in the entire time I have been with EZY. The most recent minutes of CC meetings are 3 yes 3 years old. Frankly you prove my point, if have to go around asking who is on the CC they are obviously not promoting themselves as perhaps they should. A BALPA rouges gallery on the wall is hardly new technology!
As for visiting the website, I can't, I resigned from BALPA. Again, it seems it's a club of "please join but we wont tell you anything until you do". That I'm afraid doesn't cut it for me. I have actively attempted to find out what is going on by talking to current members to see whether it is worth rejoining. The response....... a shrug of the shoulders and "I haven't a clue", their words not mine before I receive a lashing.
You talk of the T&G in rather derisory terms, frankly I was impressed how quickly they mobilised their troops into action; it certainly seemed to give the company pause for thought. As for giving away their loyalty bonus away yes they did and poor show too. But didn't you negotiate the FOs away also plus a 10% pay cut for new joiners and captains?????
If BALPA wants to increase it's membership attempting it "by mallet" on PPRUNE will not achieve results. It's campaigning in the crewroom that will get new joiners and people like me to rejoin the fold, none of which I have seen or heard of.
Again, before you reject my comments out of hand remember it's me you need to convince not the other way round. I want EZY to be the airline it is capable of being, simply prove to me and the majority of others that BALPA can achieve that. Until you can I will stick with IPA/IPF.
