It seems Pilots dissatisfied with BALPA has defiantly risen, maybe in this recession people are looking for someone to blame.
But as a few people have already pointed out BALPA don’t have many resources, yet because of the small membership base our fees are the same for much larger unions.
Maybe its time for a new union in these times of change? Unite for instance already represents our cabin crew. They are much larger, the largest I think and therefore have more pulling power and more resources.
It would only work of course if we all went, otherwise another union would only dilute our current representation.
