Jet2 needs BALPA? 2nd attempt!
Let’s try again. The original thread was trashed by Jet2 haters and a series of deleted posts which created nonsense.
In the Jet2 where I work (which seems to be a different one to some of the previous posters), most of us seem to really enjoy working at Jet2 and recognise that we have a lot going for us, despite the “disappointing” pay and conditions which are unlikely to change much. However, there are a few things that need to be improved and/or clarified, much of it at little cost. And soon.
Last year, as soon as Jet2 promised a bit of consultation, the vitriol on Pprune ceased, assisted greatly by the private crew forum. The management would seem to have breathed a sigh of relief. However, after an initial flurry, they have forgotten to actually consult. There is now an overhang of unresolved matters, eg increments and dual basing.
It’s hardly surprising that the vitriol has flared up again, and the management know what to do to discourage it. Just start consulting again.
My question is, do we need BALPA instead? Would a proper BALPA CC do better, particularly if backed up by experienced industrial relations negotiators who could maintain the impetus and oppose any procrastination?
