Balpa Are Wasters
Balpa can be seen as the biggest collection of spineless, gutless, wasters that like a leech parisitically suck cash from naive pilots.
Many pilots are lured by the idea that come the unlucky day, when you might need employement advice to protect you from the worst and even sometimes criminal excesses of modern day management that somehow they might be around to help.
But then sadly if you find yourself in that situation you will discover they have no back bone, no stomach to help out and zero moral courage.
When there not busy bottling out there often giving duff advise and even taking advertising revenue from the very employer that shafted you
They are concerned with two things memebership fees followed by having a quiet life.
One of the best things that can happen to any pilot is to be deep in the mire in some way early on in their career. Not because being deep in it is any fun at all but because having been deep in it and being left high and dry by the BALPA wasters you can do yourself a favour and cancel your 1% membership.
Over 30 years that could easily amount to say circa £15,000 cash
Dont waste your money on these muppets whatever you do.
