If, just if, a base voted to join BALPA and secure 100% membership, what good would it do?
MOL will simply close the base.
Flights will operate using off base aircraft and the 'members' will be redundant.
This is how he he has threatened to do it in the past and no amount of Union recognition, Industrial Law or strike action will change his point of view.
End of story.
Now, if you got ALL the pilots to strike at once........................oh forget it.
