Is anyone surprised, BALPA reps are between a rock and a hard place, dammed if you do and dammed if you don't
You do the CC bit for free, it takes up loads of time and hours on an evenning when all you want is a beer and a bit of telly, the best you can hope to get out of it is a line training position if you please your masters (not the membership) so how can you not look at your job security and think well a tweak here a tweak there and that me safe? It might not be right or moral but they don't pay the mortgage & car loan
It ought to be the BALPA PN job to provide oversight as they are employed by BALPA and not the company and as such are not/ should not be influenced by such issue's
Having only ever met one of them at bmi regional years ago, i thought she was nice enough but useless with little or no understanding of the airline world and seemed she would be better suited to be human rights lawyer like that Chicrabarti lass or what ever her name is that always pops up on the Beeb when they lock up some Islamist with a hook that wants to see the end of everything Western apart from the hand outs and benefits
Remember if you don't like what your CC do, you should stand for the council yourself not moan when they get it wrong (for you)
