Correct CaptPlayStation. Well done ALPA.
For John Smith and 100%, lets put it this way...
Do you, or do you not think that using UK based pilots to break a legitimate Portugese pilot dispute is a good idea in the grand scheme of things?
If the latter, cognisant of the law with respect to secondary action, what do you think the solution to the problem is?
BALPA absolutely should lobby for a change in the law with respect to the type of multi-jurisdictional issues airlines are now using to their advantage, because the law was conceived well before a time when these issues were a problem.
In just the same way they are lobbying/continuing to lobby for changes/review of the new FTL legislation whose inception was a complete fiasco....
