What it needs is BALPA to get involved. Are wannabes eligible to join BALPA? If they dont pay the fees then they may not fight their cause.

If FO's getting laid off to make room for the pay to fly crowd however then that is a diffferent matter. I dont know if this is happening yet.

By the way could someone please explain the difference between a pay to fly scheme and something like CTC which gives you a 6 month placement on £1000 a month. (That you have paid for) If the £1000 comes out of your original £60,000 then what is the difference? This is not a dig at CTC. Im just struggling to find the difference.
