Apart from all the stuff they have delivered which has far outweighed the cost.

In fact less than nothing since they routinely betray the implicit promise of their membership.
Er, see above.

I think you'll find that it's CTC who are easing the CTC pilots forwards. You know, even on your third bottle, that it's hard to represent someone who doesn't work for you. Yet.
I'm going to guess that your suggested course of action (drop BALPA and become deunionised) will somehow stop this from happening to these CTC pilots. But I fail to see how.

The word from your beloved BLAPA? "Sorry lads, we sympathise but there's ‘nowt we can do." Were your BLAPA all they claim to be, there wouldn't be a G registered airliner flying above the skies of Britain until this horror story is resolved.
Four bottles, and the logic is cloudy. Not to mention the whole issue of UK law.

You write much of the benefits of unity and warn against the dangers inherent in a "divide and conquer" strategy. Have a closer look at BLAPA, Norman. Decentralised, airline specific CC's who are blameless in the event of their (regular) failures since, how does it go again, oh yes "BLAPA are the pilots and the pilots are BLAPA. We're only as strong as our membership permits." Really Norman, do you expect those possessed of a rational mind to accept such shamelessly regurgitated bollocks?
Checklist:
1. Rational mind? Yep.
2. Accept? Yep. But only because it's true.

Repeat of thoughts generated by bottle number 2, and countered by the truth.

Nope - no feeling of fear here.

Finally, enough is enough, and the plonk has rendered your thoughts as well as your typing unreadable.
