SASless, I wasn't having a poke but merely pointing it out. Having known the gentleman in question I am confident in saying his raison d'etre is purely in the interest of the members not BALPA house. He is an upstanding and honest man and if he can bring a taste of what the line pilots feel he most certainly will.
I know what you mean as yet again it seems the people at the sharp end have been bypassed but you surely can't expect people to pay attention to us when there are many MANY people with fancy degrees proving they are so much better at this than us
.
Im off to bed, have fun but fly safe folks.
