So sad when individuals have to be sacrificed when there are thousands of pilots standing shoulder to shoulder.
We do stand shoulder to shoulder on fatigue, do we not?
If the guy concerned ever looks at this, hear this: you are a legend, "thank you on behalf of every UK pilot".
As I understand it, the pilot involved approached BALPA for legal assistance. The case was judged by the BALPA lawyers to be below a certain percentage chance of succeeding and so declined to fund the action. On winning the action, BALPA have been funding subsequent action and the remedy claim.
