Beagle9,
This rumour did the rounds a while back and, like so much BASSA detritus, it gets resurrected on a regular basis (vis the alleged look on WW's face every time he receives a ballot result. Clearly the impact has shocked him to the very core each time. But I digress). It certainly used to, and I'd imagine still does, say on the Unite website that they are not the national representative body for airline pilots and redirected one to BALPA. No more than hot air from CrewFriend. But they knew that already as they trolled on here I'm sure.
