I have been reading with interest the comments by people about this whole affair before I commit myself to my first post.
I have been affected by the recent merger talks with Scotia and I feel somethig should be done to stop the rot.
While I agree there has to be change from within, there seems to be little evidence for change over the years by the Balpa organisation. If Balpa were interested then it should have alredy in place measures to stop officials doing what Mr O'Donnell has done. The comment about bean counters and no interest in people or careers by the companies is a valid one. But sometimes I wonder if the same applies to Balpa.
Has Balpa become an organisation more concerned with profit margins than the members?
One question though, I thought the law has changed and if the pilots had a majority within NSPA wouldn't the companies have to recognise it?
Having said that I don't think the NSPA would gain membership enouigh to get off the ground let alone a majority.
