"I only know about the up and coming vote because of this forum. I guess I was naive in thinking that being a paid up BALPA member for five years meant that I may be informed about things through the proper channels ........."
What you are 'naive' about is assuming that being a paid up member of BALPA means that somehow everything is just going to land in your lap. For f***s sake get off your a** and take an interest in whats going on. You need to remember that BALPA IS it's members, the decision is ultimately yours.
CD is being used as a scapegoat in this thread to cover up some of the decisions that have been taken by individual CC's. I for one hope that a BA pilot does NOT end up being GS of BALPA. That would be reason enough for a 1% pay rise.
