Fuzzy,
Don't want to get into a slanging match but I will happily get off my a*** and do something if I get to know what is going on. Unfortunately, I work quite hard for a living and am not in a position to find much out other than by emails, which I'm not being sent apparently, or snail-mail (ditto).
As far as I'm aware though, the BA pilot in question is acting in order to get someone with a vague interest in the welfare of union members into the post of GS. If elected, he will step down immediately that there are a selection of credible candidates to choose from. This will not occur as long as CD remains incumbent.
Please do not allow anti-BA paranoia to cloud the issue of mismanagement at the top of BALPA. If it does, we all lose, whether we're BA or not.
