Gary, I have not claimed that BALPA caused redundancies: what I have claimed is that BALPA have done nothing to stop the redundancies.
Equally, the vitriol conveniently ignores the role of BALPA in the CTC scandal at easy and the Regional "infringement" at LHR: one thing which is abundantly clear, however, is that whenever the union tub thumpers run out of argument they ALWAYS resort to abuse and complaining that Brookfield / Ryanair or anyone and everyone other than, they, themselves and their union, are responsible for the reduction in Ts and Cs.
It would be interesting to see how many of the union acolytes would hand over a substantial proportion of their enormous Brookfield / Ryanair beating salaries to help out the folks being made redundant from the other union recognised companies.
Do that and you could save their souls by freeing them from having to take the FR Euro!
Why do I think that won't happen ?
