May I introduce some of you BA types to the real world.
There are alot of well qualified 7576 (including retirees..ahem) types out there in the uk currently and their world is in flux. They will be applying. You wont strike.
You moan about BALPA being toothless however they have to defend a bunch of self centred primma donnas who havent quite caught up with the plot.
EG.
Pilots commuting fom australia now moaning because they cant bid 50/75 percent and their little earner is over.. Absolutlely ridiculous. If the management had balls they would just wait observe their self induced fatigue and can them. Can you believe it.Get a job with Qantas.
The sby Pilot moaning that the blocks are too long and the LHR car park too far away from his midlands house so can it all be changed. Poor thing apparantly sits in his uniform from the start of the sby.
The list is endless. lets allow the public on the forums and let them see what a buch of idiots we (now you) are.Against a background of puerile compalints like this you expect BALPA to have any credibility at all. Its the members fault. Self opinionated whinging Nigels. Demands to represent this sort of chaff neuters Balpas effectiveness and credibility.
Any way back to the point. Youve got a nice cake from which you are all feeding happily . Another cake is being baked. Guess what you wont get both. Go on strike if you will. Thats what walsh wants. You will get very little sympathy from the industry or the public because you are out of touch with the real world. Be happy with your current industry leading package and stop being so fecking selfish, arrogant and basically pains in the ass.
OH and good use of selective support for logan air. Dont you want to crew the otter as well.
