I read a comment on a forum from a bmiR pilot last week who did, indeed apparently have a rating. If that is so, then he/she certainly deserves a shot at the position. I understand BALPA are looking into it.
No offence intended, but if it is who I think it is this person has been here but 5 minutes. Why do they deserve a chance? There are plenty of more senior pilots desperate for an oportunity should it arise. If BALPA are indeed "looking into it" that can only mean that there is norfolkinchance chance for anyone else because they have no rating. That would be the final nail in my opinion regards union membership.
