Thanks SLT. You make good sense - and in English too.
I actually believe that Ryanair stopped many of the Buzz guys from being unemployed as Buzz was failing and would have been closed down by KLM. I do not expect Balpa to work miracles and a takeover is simply that. However I have also heard on the grapevine that many Buzz guys are very disgruntled about aspects of Balpa support they did not receive. Exactly what they expected or did not receive (which they felt entitled to) is what I am trying to discover.
I am just trying to get to the bottom of all the anti-Balpa rumours before I am willing to commit 1% of my salary to them.
