Killerbeez and all
CHC pilots are represented by BALPA and consists of pilots (100% pilots) and there lies our STRENGHT, we are all affected by the same issues.
The Engineers are in the same unoin as the ramp staff and issues that affect them are somtimes at odds with the rest of it's members and there lies it's WEAKNESS.
The aircraft will not fly without pilots.
They will not fly without Engineering input ( well only for a short time!!!!)
DOH !!!
