God - this thread is boring can't we all find someting else to chew to death?
PS. If BALPA subs were established at 1% eons ago cos there were very few members, why are they still so high when we have 5 to 10 times as many members? Is it because we have a spend-thrift inefficient admin, or that Balpa has allowed salaries to fall 5 to 10 fold?
