Seems strange that you all have a low opinion of Whariq.
Especially so considering that all he's done in his fatwa is go to considerable lengths to counsel the pilots against selling themselves short.
He points out, at excruciating length, how it's actually much better for them not to be in Balpa.
Please do not be persuaded by the false promises of BALPA, who have repeatedly shown in other airlines that they are hopelessly ineffectual to improve pay or conditions
Then, in case any wannabe apostates are still mistakenly tempted to sign up to Balpa and receive lacklustre payrises, misinformed negotiation and end up worse off as a result - Mullah Whariq then threatens "the following repercussions":
a. The rates of future pay increases will be reduced to the BALPA rates of pay increase – in other words there won’t be any (just ask BALPA members in GB Airways, Easyjet, BMibaby), take your pick.
b. There won’t be any more favorable share option schemes for Stansted pilots.
c. There won’t be any further promotions or base transfers at Stansted as the base will be frozen. If you are a First Officer, kiss that promotion and pay increase goodbye.
With the impeccable logic of his dogma, he says that if you however sign up you'll end up poorer - and to dissuade you from doing this, he threatens to make you poorer.
Naturally, he's pointed out at the start that,
we have no objection to any Ryanair pilot joining BALPA
His lack of objection looks like it runs to about a thousand words. Were Warwick Brady actually to object to Ryanair pilots joining BALPA (which he doesn't because for one, he's said so - and two, he makes threats so you don't) I'd be interested to see how many words that would run to.
