bluepilot,
Thanks for your support. It is much appreciated.
.... but BALPA as a UNION .... needs to support not just you guys but the minority as well....
BA guys are the minority (less than half the BALPA membership).
In this case though, BALPA (and more specifically the BACC) are supporting the non-BA guys as well. Anyone who joins OS after a successful action will, if they choose to bid across to BA mainline, benefit from the higher terms and conditions that we are so keen to protect.
