Pressman et al,
Please don't take what I said as a knocking of the value of what we are trying to achieve - I just don't think BALPA are the right people to deliver it. Clanger puts very nicely what (from my own straw poll) a few people at RYR think of them.
I think there is much mileage in REPA and opening channels to the management - a capt tried to put that to the team at the meeting and it was acknowledged that the ERC needed to be more flexible and adaptable, something they conceeded they would look at in the future.
