Best post that I have read on Pprune in many a year.
Eloquent and very much to the point.
I only hope that it is understood by those to whom it is intended.
Many here are being or have been brainwashed by the Goliath in this battle and unfortunately are unwilling to see the advantages on offer.
A recent post on a members only website for DHL Air pilots still uses the rallying call for BALPA voluntary recognition, something that cannot and will not happen, as long as current management are in charge.
The best that they can achieve would be statutory recognition, with far less benefits.
Should BALPA prevail and obtain recognition, thus removing the management choice, do you realistically think that a two way dialog could be engaged between a BALPA IRO and management, I think not !!!

It does not matter if the IPF have or have not represented other companies, the point is that they should be given the chance to prove their worth.
Something they have already done on an individual basis for their members.
