Jeez Banana head - struck a nerve have we? I think Acebaxter was probably thinking of IFALPA, which is most certainly related to ALPA in the US
Acebaxter was not referring to IFALPA! He was moaning about paying his subs to 'US ALPA', which is fine, except it is of no relevance to this thread and of no interest to anyone in CityJet, anymore than the price of bread in Walmart....
Personally I have no issue with crew of
any nationality working for
any Irish carrier, provided those individuals are recruited on the same basis as EU licence holders, and provided they are employed under the same terms and conditions. Is that not what you Americans refer to as a fair deal?
