BALPA is an organisation headed up by expired relics from a bygone era (yes I stole that line but it's so appropriate!). The fact they have done f*ck all about P2F in the last 5 years is ample proof they are in on the game or extremely inept. This is not a union fit for the 21st century pilot in this day and age of ‘low cost’. They have no grasping of the goings-on at the lower end of the pilot recruitment pipe, which is incredibly difficult to understand as every professional knows...prevention is better than cure.
It's time to get the ball rolling....a new airline union for pilots that's not headed up by these fumbling, aging, old fools. Nothing will thrill me more than to see this gutless old charmers lose the current monopoly they have.
