One four sick
Thats a problem with a airlines like bmi baby, people don't join them for a career and only see them as a stepping stone. Thinking that they will only be there for three years at the most and then on to something bigger and better. I didn't realise that the % of balpa members was so low. Makes you think that if there was a strike the non balpa members would have kept the airline going for quite a while on a reduced schedule which could have turned into a disaster for thjose that did strike. Makes me think that balpa got it wrong and a strike ballot should never have been called. If you can't get at least 80-90% membership then your a bit Heather McCartney.

I don't work for bmi either nor am I a balpa member but I would be more than happy to help a fellow colleague out in this type of situation, have done so in the past. Imagine if, we as an industry, could build up a fund to use in these situations, when friends and colleagues are being mistreated, would make the managements sit up and think a bit harder.
