Thats the difference between our membership and yours. Our union held a road show event at the base and 4 people turned up . I think even if we had a union that was as organized as BALPA a large percentage of crew still wouldn't bother. They just don't think they need to get involved and assume that the rest of the membership will do it all for them. Until that changes our union will always have problems and the majority of good strong members will asume the reps can't do a job for them.

How do we move forward from this viscious circle. I sometimes wish I could knock some heads together when I hear some of the things our less senior crew say down route.

If more people listened to what the union are actually saying and not to galley fm and twisted versions of events we would be a lot closer to where we need to be.
