Slim,
You clearly don't understand at all, do you?
Other CC's have nothing to do with us. So we don't worry or even know about their affairs. So let's just leave them to themselves.
What we have is eJ pilots being mauled by management. Agree? You seem to.
So, we have two options.
Option 1.
No BALPA, and we just get mauled. No way to say "no" to anything. Just spineless acceptance. Know the feeling?
Option 2.
We have a CC who's job it is to represent us. They have legal clout, but under our laws this has to be done under the glue of a union. Now I agree, BALPA are not ideal (a bit pricey, bad history and so on) but they are the organisation that provide that legal glue. So we
can now collectively say no, or "if you do this then we do that". Again all subject to Thatcherised UK law, but it's all we have.
So we take Option 2. Now if it is such that we cannot aid a CTC employee because they are not an eJ employee, then that's again not ideal, but not enough for me to declare that Option 1 is better.
Why on earth won't you, or can't you see that?
The vast majority of our pilots can, and I'm sure yours would too were they not terrified into non-action by threats of base closure from your management.
