Tobes - When dealing with your own company, BALPA Reps. are only able to give your CC guidance as to where and when YOU should bark. Negotiation skills and training are one of the things you pay for with membership fees. So it's your job to ask your CC (assuming you are a member) to request XYZ on your behalf.
What this thread has highlighted more than anything else is pilots' misunderstanding of exactly how BALPA works within their companies and why it has to work in the way it does. I also believe that on a national BALPA should be more vociferous about P2F and security issues, but hey, like the rest of you, I'm thinking me and about my next month's pay and there BALPA is giving me value for money.
