Does BALPA count and are they capable of addressing the pervasive "pay-to-fly" culture... never mind the other pressing issues of pilot health, wealth and welfare? I think I know the answer already.

You're entirely right of course ScratchingTheSky. What I find bemusing about the medical industry is the fact there are little or no requirements for recency/proficiency checks in their industry, yet theirs is inherently one of the most responsible and critical.

Beginning to wonder if I should just declare bankruptcy and go bush flying out in Southern Africa... Wonder how my wife would view that suggestion?!
