underhanded comments
Having had considerable experience (with different companies) of both BALPA and IPF I am surprised by the comments on this forum. Yes this is the Pilot's Rumour network but to name a respected Union negotiator and lambast that person whilst you yourselves remain nameless is utterly shameful.
How much money have you invested in BALPA over the past year(s)?
Have you considered the cynical view that their slowness to get recognition (seeing as you could have achieved it with far fewer members much earlier) an attempt to gain greater numbers for more than numerical workforce advantage? After all DHL pilots are not the poorest in the industry - 1% of a half decent salary times X = significant income.
Seems that loosing out to IPF makes BALPA members angry in their wallets for backing a horse that lost. And now those folk are attacking the one guy who is trying to help them out of the mess instead of fighting for rights with DHL mgt.
