Perhaps some CC member could contact H.Q. and try and "wake up" the beast with a suggestion that they take heed of this problem rather than making like an ostrich.
500 (and counting) is a reasonable straw poll of their members, and hey, we even have a BA member who, whilst satisfied locally, has identified the lack of action @ the top.
TIME TO WAKE UP BALPA ! ! Or wait until you see the membership dwindling ?

but then it is too late, proactive beats reactive any day
