The combination of press and political lobbying will be very powerful. Where do i sign the petition? May i suggest that any approach be based on the safety aspect with supportable evidence/experiences of incidents?
And whilst I see BALPA are indirectly supporting the PTF line then perhaps their opposite number, the IPA/IPF, might be a little more inclined to highlight our cause. They have an AGM on the 21st May 2010, 1830 @ Ditchling Golf Club. If you cant make it then write to them.
And if they do feel inclined to help, which as an organisation of integrity I am sure they will, then vote with your feet. BALPA might just stop and appraise the situation a little differently.
Happy to get together (virtually or otherwise) and form some kind of committee. This thing just needs some momentum to fly...
