have to disagree
I have found the IPF very helpful in resolving issues like fairness of bonding agreements etc and have used their FREE legal services with a successful outcome.
They have a regularly updated website and offer excellent advice on all matters pertaining to airline/commercial flying.
Also for £11 a month it's a lot better value than 1% of your salary!
To stick with BALPA because they are bigger is rather like reasoning only FORD make cars! There are better alternatives out there!
