I've found BALPA to be like BA's customer service. I've seen good and bad come out, mainly good in my case, but all FC have to stick together, any division will be leapt upon by BA Mgmt. I thought Mr Hall flew 777's before he jumped onto the Operations gravy train called OPIP. That 'initative' has crashed and burned without any success or improvements except of course for certain peoples career's.
Rumour control from the ground is that they will NOT be strike action, but a 'Work - to - Rule', which could be even more disruptive than a strike given the ancient agreements for the Ramp staff. I joke not.
Certainly, if some staff did work to rule they might find themselves working harder
Must fly....
