Didn't vote but wish John good luck. My father who was a long haul skipper for 20 years until retiring recently has constantly questioned why I am still in BALPA. He was involved as a REP for one of BA's acquisitions and felt let down frequently by some of the hierachy at New Road to the point that he eventually resigned and left BALPA for good.
I'm hoping the Union is going to be returned to the pilots whose Union it is, not for confrontation but to protect the terms and conditions that have over the years, been whittled away.
