Bacon-Slicer,
I understand you've had an extra 10 days off in the ten months you've been at bmibaby thanks to BALPA then?
Correct?
At the FO's rate, thats £2.5-3K depending on how you look at it, correct?
That deal may have been agreed before your time, but it owes its genesis to BALPA, correct?
What you get back in a newly BALPA negotiated FREA (an extra £480) more than pays for your year's BALPA subscriptions (more like £17/month in your first year of employment!).
Whatever your objections, what happened at Easyjet & KLC UK?
Astonishing that so many can't see the big picture....
I agree with you though....a good way of raising some cash for the A330/A340's necessary to take up the slack on a newly deregulated TransAtlantic market, would be to sell the sweatshop.
