Hi flyburg
Thanx for that information, its nice to see things from the other side, although i do find your last comment about "Once again though, I wonder if BALPA would be so lenient, where the situation reversed" a little provocative. This is not about you and us or who has the better union or my Dad is better than your Dad, this is about 140 peoples lives and careers.
As i said in a previous post i did feel that big balpa and big VNV were using these people as political pawns. You and I as line pilots need to be above this and strive for not only what is fair but a harmonious working enviroment.
It is up to us to show our respective unions the way foward, after all we are the members who pay the money! and we have to live with the concequences.
