Fish,

You make it sound so tempting! Just to drive home what has been happening to BALPA leadership over the last few years (like 10?), our Gen Sec is some sort of official in what we call a Quango (Government jobs for the boys) called the Monopolies & Mergers Commission, or now fashionably renamed the 'Competition Commission'. In the time of presiding over BALPA, he appears to have made himself an expert in Cows Milk. Nice little earner I'm sure, but he was supposed to be doing an effective job in sorting out my T&Cs!Go to:

and checkout page 18. I despair! British Pilots now have a chance to elect someone who will ensure EFFECTIVE leadership, not some expert in bloody farm products to run their union!

(The bit missing in the link is org.uk.review/cc2000.pdf)

Funny it is not mentioned in his manifesto!

Mr. BOAC- John will be back Thursday. I hope he will bring me oysters- lots of them! Even a dozen don't seem to work that well these days.
