Doesn't affect me anymore, but over many, many, years, one of BALPA's BA company council's biggest failings, and one of BA's best ploys, was to get too involved in solving BA's problems for them, and to believe that they were somehow helping to run the airline.
Most of us paid our dues for BALPA to solve our problems, not BAs.
Any guesses on how long before the next BALPA rep's name is added to the list of defections to a senior management job?

Seems like the present crowd, like those before them, need a reminder they are a union, not an aviation consultancy.
