Contrary to what somebody posted above, I don't work for Jet2 but I did take a look at it and maintain a keen interest.
I hoped it was obvious that my comment about Ardacre and Maat was a hint that they could be the same person, with little deceptive tactics like trying to use a different font and introducing typos. One of them suddenly arrived from nowhere when this thread started and they wouldn’t have got so far without backing each other up. And now suddenly Boeingmann has made his first ever post, very convenient. On the BALPA side, only Pilot Pete seems to be the genuine article.
I’ll not make the mistake of judging the pros and cons of BALPA and TGWU, but these BALPA supporters are not an impressive preview of the CC you could get - aggressive, dismissive and rude. These might seem admirable qualities to fight your difficult management but it won’t get them very far. To do business effectively you have to respect your opponent and that works both ways.
Silverhawk was hoping for a 31st July deadline for joining TGWU but I would think this whole thread has left a sour taste in everyone’s mouth so I don’t suppose it will happen. I can’t see many joining BALPA either, after these tantrums from their apparent multitude of supporters. Silverhawk was simply doing what he thought was best to get something going, a starting point, maybe misguided maybe not. Then in comes the BALPA “crowd” and trash it mercilessly, but without any plan of their own other than repeating their mantra “BALPA is best”.
Well done boys, Jet2 is now heading for no union at all, unless the BALPA guys offer some palatable leadership and that isn’t looking likely. Quote Ardacre, “PM will be opening the Bolly”. Well he certainly will be now, and toasting Ardacre and his cronies.
