Re Are there significant numbers commuting at BA?
It seems that just about ALL our BALPA reps live in USA or Canada - I couldn't possibly comment on the accuracy of the rumour that they mostly commute for free thanks to amazing "luck" with adjacent BALPA duties...
Also couldn't comment on why, since the Open Skies fiasco, they have given everything BA have asked for without even bothering to check with the membership first - something rotten in the State of Denmark...
