As I said previously, if your contract says you are employed as a Captain - no problem - you have the absolutley perfect get-out clause and I cannot understand your problem.
We asked, a couple of weeks ago, for any Balpa member to send us a copy of their contract if that (Captain only clause) was the case and not one came forth. Now we find that someone has one but didn't contact us but did it indirectly via PPRune.
It's nice to get so much help but still be heavily criticised for doing nothing about it.........even though we are anyway!!
There is so much precedant in all industries regarding the level of union support relating directly to the effctiveness and 'power' of that union, but here we have examples of a few who choose to totally ignore that and suggest the effectiveness needs to be there first - before the support is given.
Good luck to the new CC.
