So the question now is ...........exactly what amount of money did this little exercise cost Balpa and how competent was the legal advice they had in the first place?
This is a humiliating climb down and no amount of lobbying for change alters the fact that Balpa and all those who had whipped themselves up into a self righteous frenzy have been made to look like a bunch of ill advised amateurs.
I trust that those in Balpa who have overseen this humiliation pay with their jobs.
