Penko;
"BALPA is there for all". Should be; wonder if it's true. I don't want to open that old chesnut, but it does crop up very often.
Now, this open skies thing is there for everyone. I hear Air France are opening routes out of LHR. What is happening elsewhere? Prune is open to all the worlds pilots & unions. Why is this topic only under a BALPA umbrella? What are the Frenchies saying, & the Germans etc. Is it only the entrenched dinasaurial Brits who are knashing teeth? Are the yanks throwing toys out of the pram? Lets hear a rounded debate from all sides, not this one sided "if I can't play I'm taking my ball home" attitude. The ghosts of Dan Air, B.Cal & Laker lurk in the shadows.
