Your typical union rep is an intellectually stunted, short sighted, narrow minded selfish prat who knows nothing about business never mind the extraordinary pressures on airlines at the moment
I am happy to report that the BA company council BALPA reps that we have are some of the finest minds in the business - a very astute lot.
I guess you are referring to the older, dogmatic unions, of which we have seen some example simpletons trotted out over the last few days. And if that Malone creature pops her head above the parapets any time soon she had better expect to get it shot off.
