If BALPA really wants to get away from the past errors of the 'darke' ages it is going to need to to change some of those at the top who still emphasise with him and his discredited policies. Whilst in any democracy the majority rules - if you shaft yor minoriy groups they will cause you grief and it is not the way a civilised advanced society behaves.
It is sad to see such blatant discrimination against non BA mainline groups such as is being conducted against the Turbo prop pilots in BACX - if BALPA continues to repeat the errors of the past it will eventually lose it's influence and become an irrelevance.
Start playing fair and respect seniority for all your members - stop supporting one group of pilots against another and recognise a members rights are the same irrespective of his type flown or employer.
