I think that BALPA are the only real hope for all UK pilots. Dividing up into factions in other unions would only be making life easier for airline managers.
I was very disappointed to read in the editorial of the latest Log that we should be grateful as airline pilots to be (generally) so well paid. Compared to other professions and pilots elsewhere we are definately not well paid, and what hope is there that we ever will be if our union publishes such views in the editorial of their journal?
