I wonder why BALPA offered so little support to those 185 Dan Air pilots,the majority of whom were BALPA members,when they were unfairly dismissed in October 1992.
Over the next 2 years BALPAs reccomendation was that those pilots should accept BAs offer of GBP 1500 each, subsequently increased to GBP 2000 each because they did not stand a chance of winning at the Industrial Tribunal which was the target of the Pilots Action Group.
The end result ,as is well known ,was that the Croydon Industrial tribunal found in the pilots favour and eventually a sum of GBP 3 Million was paid to those Pilots.
Now BALPA appear to be giving unconditional support to OS pilots who do not as yet even have contracts or an airline to work for.
