OzDude. 'Any pilot with a reasonable level of intelligence' DOES know that the IPA/IPF is now a union and has been campaigning very actively on the flagging out issue for several years in harness with BALPA. They have swamped MPs, John Prescott and the DETR
with a barrage of letters and objections, but it seems to be a case of 'why you no rissen'. Thanks for the plug Guvnor!
