No scottie I don't consider myself thick as you do. Once again what could have been a serious discussion has degenerated to the them and us camps that gets us no where. What I have highlighted is my concerns and that expressed by others. You can either stick your head in the sand and tell us we're talking c**p or you can attempt to address those concerns and increase membership. I am NOT anti BALPA I was a member for 6 years, but I wont put my blind faith into it again until that faith is justified.
Again, lets have a major drive for all. Use the company e-mail, crewroom walls anything and everything to promote a positive outcome. Flaps 1 if the company is truely giving us a take it leave it attitude then tell the membership and push the workforce to take the necessary steps. We all know they can't afford us to take things to the ultimate conclusion. If you put your balls on the line so will I, thats what I want to see and then I will pay for the experience! As I have said on another post even members I have spoken to have NO idea what is going on at present.
Unfortunately the join 'cos i tell you so simply doesn't work anymore. I agree with what you say Pilot Pete but the problem is the union isn't talking to us that aren't members, how then does it intend to increase membership. I apprecaite it's a chicken and egg situation but BALPA could do a lot more to retify this. What's required is three things....communication,communication and communication
