A lot of silly talk here about strikes. The management are fully aware of how we all feel and I'm sure that by going on a "cat" strike is not only illegal without a ballot, it will not change anything. However, the way to coordinate strike action is through BALPA. Does anyone know what that wonderful institution is doing to help BACX pilots? If we on our own are not getting through to our management then perhaps we should attempt to get BALPA to get through to them. That is after all what a trade union is there for - a collective representation of the workforce. We can sit all day on these forums and speak of action, but it will not affect the decision making process of managment. Representaion from BALPA, however, just might.
