No one on here will do anything other than complain on here, and Balpa will make this token effort in order to get more members then quietly do as they are told and drop it like they do everything else
Sadly the first part of your statement is quite possibly correct.
If the second part is too, then BALPA deserve to loose their entire membership, as do the majority of unions that have no intention of opposing the Government over this.
I do wonder what all those who object to BALPA will be doing to oppose the ID card scheme. Complaining on here, moaning about BALPA, and then going along with it I suspect.
Sorry, PilotBear, nothing personal but I've got a bit fed up over the years of listening to people in the crewroom moaning about "the cr@p payrise BALPA got for us this year", knowing full well that they got their payrise on the back of what BALPA have done when they're too tight to pay the subs themselves.
BALPA ain't perfect, but it seems they're all we've got on this.
And no, I'm not a BALPA officer.
