BALPA is of no use whatsoever to any onshore helicopter pilot. They seem even more opposed to our sort of flying than the CAA. No support for this issue at all!
The coach and train driver argument was used, as was the "other jurisdictions" argument. Many over 60 pilots are flying public transport currently; most obviously in the USA under Part 135 Regs.
As have already said, I find the Court's Judgement hard to understand.
