I guess your not one of the "I wish BALPA was more like BASSA" pilots then, when EG300 was agreed to by BALPA long before it was by cabin crew. Indeed there are many pilots out there who believe BALPA could be "a bit more mlitant" now and again.
I'm not saying negotiation isn't the best way forward, and admire the way BALPA has carried on during the pensions negotiations. Something I think our unions could learn a lot from.
Obviously BALPA has it's faults too and I'm sure Rob Hall shared a few of them with good old BA when he sold you all down the river.
But less said about that one the better I guess.
Not many ex union reps from the crew community in management jobs now that I know of.......
I'm in CC89 by the way.
