BA pilots are a MINORITY within BALPA.
Assuming that to be true, how come the MAJORITY of BAlpa attention and resources are directed at them?

Presumably BMI BALPA pilots have elected representatives and have a BMI Company Council?
They do indeed. An interesting commonality of interest is represented. Mainly an interest in weedling their way into management via selling their colleagues down the river in order to gain favour.

About time BAlpa head office did their elected job and revised the whole corrupt and ineffective mess.

If so perhaps you had better ask that question of them rather than BA BALPA pilot's who have absolutely nothing to do with the running of the BMI company council.
BAlpa Head Office people not reading this, are they not?

Apart from that obvious point, aren't we all in the "union" together, then? Don't you have any concern for your bretheren in bmi? Aren't you worried that BAlpa resoures are being unfairly allocated? Aren't you concerned by the precedents set in bmi?

Or are you only interested in yourself and know full well that BAlpa has the same BiAs?

"I'm all right, Jack (or, in this case, Barrie)" is the Nigellian BAttle cry.


Misallocation of resources and self interest rule. So much for being a "union". It disgusts me.
