Well Gents, BALPA is all we've got
Forgive me for being a bit naive in the area of unions, but what's to stop a group of like minded pilots getting together and starting up a new union ?. Other industries have more than 1, why not pilots ?.
Sadly from what dealings I've had with pilots, they seem to be all mouth, no trousers, and always looking out for No.1. (I know this doesn't apply to all, before you start bashing me - there are still some good guys out there - but are there enough to make a difference ?).
As much as I'd like to believe what I'm reading here, I feel that sadly when my turn comes for that first flying job, I'll still end up having to stump up the cash.
