I am & have been a member of Balpa for 18 years.
They have let me & others down time & time again .
I am a believer in Unions , not associations who do very little for the individuals of this industry , take a good look at what they do for you & demand more !
Some very interesting developments recently with regards to CPDLC & unlike the ATC unions , Balpa are selling us down the river !!
easy are taking in DEC's , that's a good thing but be aware of what the union does to protect you as an individual , what they say they will do & what they actually achieve are two very different things , you have a look back through those very expensive Balpa newsletters !
With regards to EASA FTL's , Balpa have been limp in their dealings with the authorities & there are some big shocks around the corner for UK employees affected by them.
