Get off your high horse NR, BA are paying full costs to BALPA.
Actually this is complete BS , BAPLA are paying full cost which means all of us that are members are subsidising this. For my whole time in BALPA I have been subsidising BA issues. This is why there is a significant move now from BALPA to other unions.
BA should have their own union as they have their own issues , which don't affect the rest of us and I have no inclination to pay for their actions ref. against open skies which cost BALPA £2m !!!! WTF !!! And this is why BALPA is now financially f$¥#%#% !
BA pilots live in a bubble to the rest of the pilot community as far as I care you can take BALPA and stick it. BA guys need their own union so they pay for their own representation , and the rest of us don't pay for it. I have moved now from BALPA to a union that will specifically represent me in my company.
BALPA's days are numbered, it really is for BA pilots only !!!
