Gentlemen,

I feel your anger but I believe you are pointing the finger at the wrong group.

The bottom line is the BACC have the FULL support of BALPA HQ - it's very easy to be all brave and stand up to management when you have the union standing right behind you and a top QC standing behind him.

Those BA pilots that feel other pilot groups have done badly in the negotiating department have not experienced the dark side of the moon. -
The side where your screaming out for help, form a CC, increase the BALPA membership, get recognition etc etc...........only to have the chairman of BALPA look you in the eye and say "we don't do strikes"

As the BA pilots will now tell you - without the threat of strikes you are wasting your time.

What he really meant was "we don't do strikes unless we're being threatened with the same terms and conditions as you have now.....then we come out all guns blazing"
