I joined BALPA when I finished my modular training thinking that their would be perhaps seminars, networking opportunities, career advise etc being a newbie not working for a operator.
I pay 2 pounds a month and get a magazine and will use them for lost of license insurance. When I asked about careers advise, I was pointed to a C.V template on the website which was not all that good. At that time, I was hoping to speak to someone with industry experience on the flying side, have a frank conversation to help me on my way.
On the point of the magazine, reading the last edition regarding the cadet training, it was disappointing to read the lack of mention of those going modular being restricted to applying via the likes of CTC who have contracts tied up. Anyway, that's another conversation
