Ancient Observer
A TU is, and can only be, what its members want it to be.
Not officially true. 97% of the Virgin Atlantic members gave BALPA very clear instructions a couple of years ago. It was ignored, with no real explanation or justification to this day.
Any UK based Pilot slagging off BALPA is effectively slagging themsleves off.
I'd disagree. Following on from the above, the majority of Virgin Atlantic members joined a brand new association, and terminating their membership of BALPA.
Back to the topic, Flybe members pay a lot of money to BALPA; ensure they act in your collective interest & not their own.
