Not for one minute do I believe that BALPA are prepared to offer the same support, especially financially, to other Airlines as they would do to BA. Many years ago I remember a video being produced, by BALPA, for the BA Pilots in regards to the new allowance structure. This at the time was still in the proposal stage. How much did it cost to produce & provide every pilot in BA with that? Did the cost come from the Airline's Company Council? Did it hell. It was from the BALPA budget that we ALL contribute towards. If we were all treated equal then I guess I should have received a nice glossy video when I was informed of no pay rise that year. But then again I was working for one of the charters so a piece of paper would suffice!
