I am shocked by the previous page of posts. I didn't take the time to read all of the BMI stuff, so had no historical knowledge of what a crock of cR@p industrial law is in the YOOKay.
So, no point to be in BALPA if it all goes t!Ts up, and even more demonstrates what a "joke" the idea that you owe some "loyalty" to any company using your services . . as it is quite obviously a one-way-street.
