'BALPA would not be happy with a work to rule policy however.'
Why? One of the major advantages of the extremely high levels of BALPA membership here at MON is that any form of action can be effective and quickly gets the attention of management.
As has been stated many times on this thread it is illegal in the UK to strike in support of workers who are not directly employed by your company. A strict work to rule however is completely legal. It also has the advantage of hopefully not entering the public domain and therefore having little long term effect on bookings/public confidence.
As, to my knowledge, Easy currently has no Day off working payment and has a 'no favours' crewing policy why are any Easy pilots working into discretion/working days off/working early or late reports?
RGM are you saying that BALPA at Easy are part of the problem rather than a cure? Do you know what levels BALPA membership is at? Do you need a new CC?
At the risk of sounding like an advert for BALPA I would say that BA, TOM and MON are evidence of what can be achieved with a decent CC and very high levels of membership, for sure BALPA is not perfect but its all we've got.
