Extreme example but I hope there is or will be proper procedures for dealing with such false allegations. Perhaps Balpa should push to ensure there is adequate steps ?
That is why BALPA urgently
needs an agressive media centre, to refute these alligations.
Failing that, I expect that the media will contine, unabated.
BALPA members, what say you?
Put your money where your (collective) mouth is.
Urgently needed, in my considerered* opinion.
Nothing less will do.
Sorry, them's the facts.
* And, yes, I have been around a very long time is airline flying.
Find a receptive jurno, and consider soliciting his input.
Sadly, many expect that jurnos consider the other side of the story.
Make 'em listen.
To repeat, nothing else will do...reasonably.
The ball is clearly in BALPA's court.
IE: spend the funds necessary to make the reporting
factual..
The American ALPA seems to do much better job.
Just an observation, you understand, but perception is everything.
Make it
count.
