I'm fed up with this. I'm going to write to BALPA and tell them I am going to cancel my membership until such time as they take a serious stance against PTF. If every other member did then I'm sure they'd wake up. Don't get me wrong they've done some good work at my airline but in the context of our plummeting t's and c's due to the PTF lemmings, a phrase involving deckchairs and large Irish-built ocean craft comes to mind.
Obviously asking the airlines nicely to stop it is a waste of time, so how about using some of that BALPA
PR budget on a press campaign and lobbying to get the law changed so it is illegal?
