Disgusted is too lame a word (if as reported ) BALPA didn't support this from Day 1 . . . . . where are this Unions Balls ?
Oh, I know . . . down at the local lodge, where they always hold balls. . . . .
I know you think I have some sort of obsession with this, but, having been a victim of it in 1996, when the 2 guys on the opposite side of the table were in fact being helped, rather than challenged, by my "support" on my side of the table (who, of course went on to become part of the Flt Ops management ) I don't believe it has changed measurably.
Ask your CC member directly . . . do you drink in the same lodge as the management ? go on, ask him !
