Actually wino that's how this all started, Pipistrelle asked one of the candidates in the BALPA General Secretary election what he planned to do about all these 'misemployed' foreign pilots if he was elected and I asked him if he would represent me equally as a 'foreign' member living and working legally in Britain. The answer was that 'membership is open to all flying on U.K. licenses or involved in British commercial flying'- nationality is not an issue...
