I've read some comments about what BALPA has to do to get decent deals in the superb position North Sea pilots are right now.
But who is BALPA at Bristow and Scotia?
Are they the two or three reps trying to make their best to pass the messages across without getting the positive response they need?
Are they the bunch of pilots that despite the situation keep selling their days off to get a few extra coins (and while in the planning room they keep complaining about the lack of action BALPA has shown)?
Or the ones who have decided to show the companies how seriously we are taking this particular chance by working to rule and withdrawing our goodwill until we obtain the deals we deserve (and we know we can get)?
May 2001... What are you prepared to do for BALPA (for us) as BALPA member?
Summer 2001... use it or lose it. Opportunities like this one won't be back in many years!
