Apparently a BALPA newsletter went out late on Friday afternoon informing the Pilots that the Company management had asked for the agreement to be re-written to allow them to do what they have been doing???
BALPA requested a meeting over this weekend but the Company declined the offer. BALPA have now informed the Pilots and the Company that they are now pressing ahead towards the ballot.
I cant get hold of the newsletter, but it was apparently quite an interesting read.
As the whole issue is about days off, its ironic that the management refused to meet over a bank holiday weekend isn't it.
I hope this show of solidarity by the Pilots does not turn out like the Virgin Cabin Crew dispute some time ago. (But I suppose that was doomed from the start)
