IPA or BALPA

[gurnzee]

I'm sure this is a touchy subject but does anyone have advice on which is the better one to join for 'protection'. As far as I can make out BALPA costs more, but is it worth it. Any experience/advice would be appreciated

If you are working in a large airline, then perhaps yes BALPA, if not go IPA.
