The poll was done earlier on in the year on the Jet2 crew forum. It showed over 60% membership and everyone else considering it. However this figure didn't represent the 250 or so pilots as not everyone reads the crew forum.
Actual membership is nearer 30%. As ever apathy reigns, what's in it for me, why should I pay all those subs etc, etc.
As I understand it the company accept that balpa will happen. It won't be long before balpa run a proper targeted campaign for Jet2. But it is going to take a year or so. Look at Easyjet it took time but once everyone got on board they seemed to actually get somewhere.
We just want a fair reward for our services and to make it more of a career airline.
