Er ? ? Good Morning ! ! horse / stable door / bolted.
Having singularly lacked the b@lls to get involved in Ryanair (and I am talking a few years back when IALPA was imploring them to have a recognition ballot, not now, which is FAR FAR too late) having failed to curb the recent riding roughshod over the norms (not you NSF!) of industry standard contracts for new F/O's at Easy, and having always been at best ineffectual (if not even in some cases pro management) at places like BMI, it must be said that this smacks of self interest/panic on the part of the BritishAirwaysLinePilotsAssociation.
They seem (sometimes) to do a half decent job for these BA guys, for the rest of the UK airline industry, it varies from marginally better than nothing to total waste of time. Twas always thus.
