Line up ,
I agree with your post & many others on here but we need someone like Balpa to start & help us all out here.
If you look at how much Balpa are getting from pilots annually , it's an astonishing amount of money .
I have been on at my crew council but think we all need to push our own colleagues to get Balpa to talk pan company & do something to provide a framework for looking after our careers.
First Choice a couple of years ago made redundancies & went to great efforts to help the unfortunate few get replacements.
Wouldn't it be great if Balpa could actually DO something on our behalf particularly for those who , like the more senior guys at Monarch have a great deal to loose , if they were interested in helping they could perhaps negotiate with other companies who we know have a requirement for Captains & experience , to prevent these guys loosing everything when there's insufficient time to rebuild a pension fund or re-climb the ladder.
I hope Monarch don't need it but let's get on with it before its too late .
