It seems Pilots dissatisfied with BALPA has defiantly risen, maybe in this recession people are looking for someone to blame.
Which survey showed that?

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.
Compared to other unions fees are higher and membership is lower. But the organisation employs people of very high calibre and does a great deal more work than people realise.

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.
Unite is a disaster for BA CC as was BASSA before the takeover. Moronic leadership, no strategy and nothing but inaccurate propaganda to feed the mob who have neither the intelligence nor drive to actually figure out the facts for themselves.

It would only work of course if we all went, otherwise another union would only dilute our current representation.
The only accurate statement in your ridiculous post.
