I have to agree with FP. BALPA seem to do very little for guys looking for work. The information on the website for airline contacts and recruitment news is very poor, and does not eem to be updated on a regular basis, and since recieving copies of 'The Log' i have yet to see any article with reference to assisting pilots find positions. I think it would be fair to say BALPA is very much geared around pilots in positions with airlines, and not much thought at all going out to the guys who are quite literally doing everything they can to get a job. IPA do seem to work much harder at assisting the guys looking for work. Their vacancies and airline information is regularly updated.
