What Does BALPA Do?
To my mind & in my opinion, very little, other opinions may differ.
I was a fully paid up member of BALPA for 30 years plus, in 2002 I finally retired from flying & amongst others I advised at the time was BALPA. As of to-day I am still waiting for a reply to my letter, something along the lines of `all the best in your retirement` from them would have been nice.
During the last few years of my flying career, I contacted BALPA Financial Services a number of times, they were most helpful & I was very grateful for their sensible & professional advice, they were the only Department to ever assist me. To my mind I often felt & still do, that basically BALPA not only never knew I existed, but couldn't care anyway.
