somebody comes along with a bit of common sense
= Tandem Rotor = Oxymoron, (or actually, just the
moron)
(Quite why many pilots don't want to get themselves UP to where the "fat cats" are has always amazed me).
Many have tried, and been pushed hard back down again by the industrial muscle of BALPA and BACC!!! Read Hulko's post, talk to GSS, Dan, BACX pilots....
When a group of pilots get together to form an association to protect their collective interests they are only as good as their unity and what they put into looking after their interests.
Dead right, and the problem is that the relevant group only ever includes mainline BA pilots who have a boundary fence up to prevent any other group joining them.
You all get what you deserve.
Dead right again, and I'm sure that BA will get theirs.

If you don't like BALPA you don't have to be part of it - if you are part of it, then be active within it.
Dead right; but it's difficult when BACC not only won't assist but actively block you, even though, as Hulko says, you work for the same Company!
