Hands, your possibly correct regarding the vocal council. However I think it has more to do with the recent change in chairman. Balpa has in recent years been viewed as a professional organisation rather than just a union and I fear this is rapidly going to change.
I would like to reiterate, I fully support BA's fight and agree it is vital not to let BA managment have their way. But Balpa needs to realise the rest of the members have just as pressing concerns, some that effect everyone of us.
If they put as much publicity and effort into getting aircrew recognised as part of the security solution rather than as potential terrorists we would all benefit.
