I think, sadly, that rubik101 is on the right lines there.

There has not been a peep from Balpa since just after the last round of 'negotiations' in March. They have opened an office in STN, but I gather that they are mainly helping people get out of Ryanair! Or just trying to make reassuring noises when needs be.

I know they are having to wait for enough members to join before they can go ahead with union recognition, but it's a catch 22 situation. People won't join until they see something happeneing from Balpa, and Balpa can't do anything until the pilots sort themselves out.

I'm still 100% behind Balpa, but for the time being I won't be holding my breath. I'll just have make my mind up about what I'm going to do next. Just like the song says, 'Should I stay or should I go?'

As for the Labour Court, the less said the better!!!!
