Boycott, that is party political rubbish. The reality is that some unions are far too powerful and far to unreasonable, and that is what needed to be curbed. But BALPA was not in that category; it never used what power it had because too many CCs cosied up to their management. That is why it has been kicked out of so many airlines. The CCs (of any union) need to be utterly incorruptible people, and that is often not the case.
