Hi minclean...
All I can say is get out while you still can....You might benifit from reading the post about Easy MXP...Norman Stanley Fletcher is describing the situation in EJ to the point. You should also read the letter that our Flt Ops Director wrote to all the pilots in LGW.
There are bits of it in the thread above.
You can really tell by the tone in your mail that you dont know what company your joining!
I am also encouraging to join BALPA and I am already a member.
Happy job hunting....
