If you and your ilk truly want to change the world, try getting off your fat, lazy, offish arses and get involved for a change. Sitting at home, ranting away on an anonymous internet bulletin board doesn't count.
elected rep, what you fail to understand is that some of us ARE trying to seek improvements in this industry. That's the industry as a whole, not just one specific operation.
This consistent line that 'You' are BALPA, BALPA is 'You' is bollox. There have been significant adjustments within the industry on a company basis as well as legislative basis, both on a national and industry level that BALPA has ignored. Yet, attempting to open discourse into specific situations are flatly ignored. So, quite simply BALPA's members are not BALPA, BALPA selects what it will fight for its own benefit, not mine or the other 69.42% (per dreamshiner's poll) that are dissatisfied with BALPA's performance.
Yet to expend resources and attention to fight such a minor issue, which in terms of the state of the industry is not even a footnote and ignore more pressing issues is, well insulting.

Thats about enough of a reason never to see my BALPA membership renewed again this side of the arrival of the horsemen of the Apocalypse and sums up the attitude of BALPA and it's elected reps toward the industry as a whole and you can stick that attitude where the sun doesn't shine.
