5150, if Balpa don't negotiate a good enough deal next time if you're not a member how will you let them know?? At least if you re-join you can vote no on the paydeal, voice your displeasure on the website forum etc etc. A lot of members thought the last deal could have been better (however left to CV it would have been much worse) but we didn't all leave as a result! Most realise that would only weaken balpa massively.
We can all either get behind Balpa and defend our T&C's or just give up, leave Bapla and watch our T&C's plummet!!!!
Do you want to turn and face the problem or let it sneak up behind you??
