Enough!!!!!!!!!!!

[Fat Tony]

I have had ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!
Pensions. Pay. Conditions. CR*P.

This has got to be stopped.

BALPA: Get your butt in gear and start acting like a union!!!! Why do I pay you all this money???!!! Represent me and people like me or we will leave! We need a ballot on industrial action. Not just on the pension issue, or who our next Gen Sec is, but over terms and conditions in general.

We are now forced to bow before the MT drivers who refuse to take us on a bus because it's for the Cabin Crew.

We are assigned work AGAINST OUR WISHES because we are below CAP (No thanks to you guys there)

We are laughed at by the pilots of many other major airlines for our joke of a pay scale. (approx £21k for new entry Cadets).

We are amongst the most productive pilots ANYWHERE but HAVE YET TO SEE ANY MORE MONEY!!!!

We have seen catering standards go from bad to appalling! Half our meals are now almost inedible!!!

We have allowed our company to use September of last year as carte blanche for everything and anything that they wish to have changed. NO! Not on. We do our bit but all I have seen since I joined is constant erosion of EVERYTHING!

When we gave them TLV alleviations subject to conditions.... At what point have they met those conditions???!!!!

How about a bank pay-off once a year??? If I've done the work then surely I should be paid for it!

What about Flight Crew Water Supplies? 1.5l for a JFK? You are having a laugh!

Financial management of BALPA???!!! Where?!!!!

PAY???!!! We now trail our US counterparts by a ridiculous margin. Two crew on all US East Coast routes. Do they do that??? And what is their CAP? Not 90 is it?

I have voted for JF because I see no other option. No change of leader: No change. And that is not acceptable to me. We pay a lot of money to our union and we have seen nothing but worthless talk for some time.

I want:

More money.

More respect.

More time off.

More control of my life at work.

If you agree then let BALPA know. Nigels, Be silent no longer.
