I think someone just hit the nail on the head.
It appears to be a good company - and to have good staff. And I'm told it may even have some good managers & directors. (Don't shoot me yet!!)
The issue appears to be that PM wants to involve himself with the day to day running of the company instead of letting his managers do that!
I know this is a pilot website but ALL staff are affected by the new pay for baggage policy. And I understand that even those higher up were not all aware of or impressed with the idea.
Back on topic - There seems to be differing views on BALPA - not my place to comment but I hope you all find an appropriate voice to support you as your company grows.
