GYS, there's your problem - you're guessing. Many RYR pilots are in an EU ALPA, apparently over 50%. There was a point where BALPA tried to force recognition, but they stuffed it up and have ever since run away from O'Leary with their tail between their legs, so their support of REPA is limited to financial - they're too scared and pathetic to do more. And there is the rub; unions do what is in their interest, which is sometimes aligned with their members' interests, but they never act in the interest of another group.
