Pilot Pete,

There are hardly any BALPA members to form a CC!

If those few members want BALPA to be recognised, they first need to get a rapid increase in the membership. In which case they need to get in touch with BALPA Head Office to set up a recruitment meeting of members and non-members.

While the onus is indeed on the pilots to motivate themelves, BALPA is nevertheless an organisation that has an administrative core that should be willing and able to set up and finance a local meeting. In the absence of a CC, it's not up to the individual pilot members to do this, it's the union administration in response to individual pilots' requests.

And anyway, Pete, let's have YOUR ideas for a way forward. Telling me that I've got it all wrong doesn't actually get us very far, does it? Clearly you would like a strong BALPA membership within Jet2, headed by a CC. You obviously know the system, so tell us how.
