BALPA have called their bluff on the legal side and are "playing a blinder"
Who is playing the blinder?
BA advised BALPA of its legal claim and BALPA understood that it might face "bankruptcy" (not my words) in order to test the legal point. They obtained an ex-parte order that is eminantly challengeable (and if BA wants to , I'm sure it will).
Meanwhile BALPA has to watch as its mandate ebbs away.
The BACC Team understand that in order to protect their own skins they are better off hiding behind a legal decision than achieving what they view to be a "poor deal" (i.e. not BA Plane BA Pilot).
My view - not a BA pilot as I've said before, but a BA employee with an interest in this as it affects my livelihood - BALPA has misread BA management's resolve and is running out of places to go.
They will get personal soon and angrier. I await the first knockings ...
