That leaves an annual subscription of £102.30, or £8.53 a month.
So you can get everything that I admire, from the only union with ANY airline negotiating skills for less than your £9.32 T&G membership....and that for a captain. Care to comment? I am no BALPA recruiter, just a realist. If you want to improve your lot, you aren't going to do it with the cabin crew, or with the T&G....
Again, I wish you all well.
