BALPA Failure
For the likes of Weary and Max Con im really genuinely pleased that your are getting benefit from Balpa membership. Really pleased that for you Balpa is working.
But your experiance in your company or your sector of the industry is the exception rather than the rule. Perhaps you working for British Airways whose pilots have always been the most protected darlings of Balpa.
Most people will be pleased to hear that Balpa has done something to improve your terms and conditions and monthly pay cheque but your amusement with others very strong disatisfaction with Balpa smacks of an "im all right jack" sort of attitude and sod the rest of you approach which is part of the division which Balpa has allowed to develop within the industry.
Your unfounded charge (Weary) that critism of Balpa implies that someone belongs to a generation that rejects something that does not give instant gratification is offensive nonsense ?
Which generation are you referring to and seek to insult ?
What evidence do you have that Balpa has been rejected because it did not give instant gratification ?
Do you have any evidence for this crass charge or is your sharp toungue displaying the lack of a sound mind ? Are you the sort of guy that does not need a steak knife but cuts your food with your tongue ? As a BALPA fan your position might be invulnerable afterall what you dont know cant hurt you and to that extent you seem invulnerable.
