BALPA Subscription
Hi all,
This is a bit sticky but here goes;
Interest Rates are on the rise and I'm tightening my financial belt.
BALPA is one financial expenditure I've always regarded as a professional necessity, but have had reservations about. Some Charter guys say it's the BA Line Pilots Association. Some ex-BA guys say it did nothing to help them in their hour of need.
Since it is my Company's representative Pilot Union, I feel I should stay as a member, but then the Company non-members get the same service as I do; all I get is an expensive magazine subscription.
Views/Opinions/Questions/Suggestions Please.

In the interests of fairness, BALPA aren't the only option, and whilst I'm not the most "pro-union" person in the world, overall I feel you're better in than out.

Pay the cash, participate and help those that negotiate for you to do so. Remember, that those who don't pay, don't have a choice and have no say over what has been negotiated. Pity!
