If the IPA/IPF are so good why are they not already representing many other uk airlines? BALPA are not perfect and it may be that some on the council have their own hidden agenda. Do you think that the IPA will be any different? One of the main instigators IH has his own reasons for wanting the IPA in power. ie GDOJ over Baby seniority list. Do the people in the company not realise that if this remains the case it will only benefit a small number of people, ie the ex regional people (ie IH) and one ex bmi person who went back to bmi to see if the grass was greener and realised that it wasn't. People also have to realise that if mainline ever have more redundancies and baby are recruiting, baby have to offer the mainline pilots the job. This will hamper us all at baby especially many FOs as the people coming across from mainline will have a better GDOJ than many of us. Therefore if baby then has redundancies guess who keeps their jobs? It is also the case that if we move to mainline now we do not get to transfer our GDOJ. Not very fair at all. At the time when the regional friends of PD were employed by Baby they moved across with the impression that they would carry GDOJ. It is not exactly fair that this should be removed but there are also many other things that have been changed or removed (tea and coffee!!!) by the company. We have to protect ourselves for the future and think carefully whether the IPA really would be better?
