Hi all,
Very interesting thread. I was wondering when BALPA will be taking a "robust" position with regard to SSTR and line training?
Just been looking at an advert on this website for SSTR + line training at £30000 to £40000 with no pay, not even sector pay.

It seems to me that BALPA only gets involved when it concerns BA and not the wider aviation community. Quite ironic really as most of the new FO's will be coming from the Low Cost Airlines who have paid for all their training.
No "Union" position on these people? After all these people (under duress in trying to get a job) have lowered T & C's.
Anyway, I don't think OS will make it off the ground. We're already in recession and the first thing to be cut is air travel.
