So why is IALPA doing considerably more to form combative structures than BALPA then ?
I have known some very courageous pilots who have stood up for the benefit of all their colleagues and have been let down dramatically.
Most of the things that RYR union members want would not harm the company financially at all, and probably reduce costs in the long term.
Many ' typically well educated, relatively well informed and tend to make their own decisions ' pilots in RYR who refused to join a union are now seeing that they were completely wrong, and are now joining up.
Most new recruits completely believe that all you have to do is exactly what in says in the manuals and you will be fine. They do learn about the real world eventually.
