Hypocritical ?
Nothing ceases to amaze me after talking to a BALPA rep. Following the potential EU increase in pilots hours,he informs me that his next little venture is to meet his counterparts SELPA to discuss a joint stance should IAG implement the proposed ruling.
You would assume that BALPA would be supportive of EU initiatives that will, over time, increase aviation industry profitability, thus securing a considerable number of jobs during a period of uncertainty as a result of this prolonged recession and the onslaught from low cost rivals.
I hope BALPA will consider the implications of attacking a loyal employer as they may very well end up with their very own IB express waiting to taxi out and relieve them of their generous remuneration.
