Dan Air were if I remember bought by BA 1 pound sterling.BALPA membership somewhat less than 100 %.
British Caledonian on the otherhand were bought for a bit more (£ 225 million)
had 100 % BALPA membership and thanks to BALPA were treated very well.Some would argue that their subscriptions are worth every penny.
BALPA will not break ranks on this one.The present BALPA leaders are a formidable bunch.Very intellegent,focused,driven (largely junior) militant and strong leaders.If the current managment at BA want to pick a fight with them then thats up to them.No problem.Reminds me of that character in Monty Python without any arms and legs telling a Knight in armour that he has not finished with him.
