Goldcup, people aren't stupid. They don't need a BALPA showcase to tell them what way the wind is blowing. However I doubt there would be much bitching if they hadn't bothered setting anything up. BALPA have more pressing matters that they should be devoting their efforts towards, instead of advertising a 'quality' careers event which can be construed as nothing more than an attempt appease the poor buggers at bmi baby; they aren't stupid either. From what I am told there was nothing revealed here that they wouldn't have known about already.
If anyone's at fault, it's not the people who turned up to this event expecting something; it's BALPA for putting together a careers event based on nothing more than hope. It irritates me that I paid a subscription to this lot for nearly two years. I joined a union fit for purpose, should've done it much sooner.
