Former BALPA Member - cancelled, total waste of money!
It is a complete game, nothing more. Things have now turned, I think for the foreseeable future of UK airline life.
I will be redundant at the end of April from a 'large' union orientated UK airline. This particular CC have just discovered this 'new' game from management who are now making sure it is they who run the company, not a bunch of senior guys who are, in reality, looking after the interests of senior pilots. I personally believe it is these folk, who are desperate to hang on to and have turned 'Big Seniority' into something special, why the future pilots of the industry are now suffering.
I am now joining easyJet, a BALPA recognised company, albeit working for PARC on a contract that is nothing short of disgusting...but I need a job!
1% payrise for me at least, I will never rejoin.
Regards
Sean
