Yet again why let the truth get in the way of a good story!!!!. From Friday onwards a letter from the CC will be with every bmibaby pilot. Can I suggest you wait, read said letter and then if necessary make contact to clarify anything you do not understand.
Glibbly spouting stuff such as we have had redundancies therefore BALPA does not work is unfortunately the sort of drivel everyone at all levels of BALPA is having to combat.
The airline industry is in meltdown at the moment and some tough choices/decesions are having to be made. BALPA will always endeavour to put job retention first, but they do not have a magic wand and if the departing boss has chosen to take many millions out of the business along with bookings having fallen off a cliff then unfortunately there will be some pain along the way. If this means a pay deferral that helps to save jobs, is that such a bad thing?
