This time last year all was fantastic in the GSM camp.....what happened?
Forget the TGWU, forget IPF. Only BALPA has the know how to sort your problems out.
If it's that bad dip into your pockets and spend the money, New members to BALPA get a 50% discount for two years.
TGWU, IPF and BALPA are only as good as it's members and I think you'll have difficulty getting the contractors onboard.
If you're serious BALPA is the only choice (and I was a member of the IPA for many years). Scrimping on saving a few pounds here and there on your representation will show in the results.
My subs to BALPA cost me £62 a month in easyJet and it is worth every penny. However I get the tax back on these subs so it doesn't really cost me £62 a month.....As an FO in easyjet it was about £30 less tax, divide by two for two years and BALPA works out cheaper than the IPF.
Here's hoping you improve things
