If I'm missing the point, you have your head in the sand. I hope you get it out or else you are destined for poor terms and conditions for many years to come. Explain just how complicated it is; You all join the one organisation that has a proven track record of increasing pilot terms and conditions in the UK and then get a recognition agreement. Simple. If you don't like BALPA because of their imperfect track record then fine. Don't join. But don't whinge about your collective lot and then not do anything pro-active about it. You can negotiate with your employer yourself and get nowhere or you can unite and get one combined voice, singing from the same song sheet, that the management cannot ignore.
All the best.

By the way, I know a number of Jet2 pilots, so not on the inside but I get a reasonable idea for the way things are....
