Repat funds
Way back in the early 70s I did ask our Head of BALPA PLC (Pilots Local Council) & our Senior BASSA rep what if any provisions there were for members of shut down operations. Neither could answer, nor could BALPA HQ nor BASSA national convener. I was in the 'sandpit' when Laker went 'tits-up' & I know that crew were offered repat seats/jump seats at no charge, not just on UK carriers. There are times when the industry does pull together, it is the biggest and best club in the world that does look after it's own sometimes, now is a time for it to do it again.
