Blue pilot,

Tnx for your reply.

Quote: “So apart from public forums and word of mouth when we work together what do you suggest????”

Suggestion: Just write your facts on a paper, copy it 2200 times and hand it out to every to pilot you bump into at the crew centre, the crew bus or on board when changing crews at the outstations. (I’m sure someone must have thought of that but for some reason has decided not to do this.)

Balpa writes about pay rates, pension arrangements, base closures, restriction on Command upgrades and access to management posts;

What and compared to who is something wrong with your pay rate?
What is wrong with your pension?
What are the facts of the base closures?
Is there a restriction on command upgrades?
Management pilot restrictions?

No facts in the Balpa letter. For me, not factual familiar with the KLMuk problems, I can only interpret these statements as unfounded and not verifieable conclusions.

I intentionally put this as straight as I can since I really have little clues of what’s going on.
The BALPA letter does clear just a bit but to tell the truth, it rises more questions than it gives answers.

Happy flying.
