bmibaby Ops Dir resigns (Who shot JR?)
Heard on the wire that bmibaby has got shot of JR!
So MD went last month, Ops Dir this month, pay dispute continuing, what a good looking baby it is!

A whopping 97% have voted for industrial action - 88% of which are prepared to take full strike action !

Strong ballot, six months of hot air and then role over
By the way, it's "roll" not "role"

ArkRoyal, appologies ... the words were mine, not a direct quote.
Here's the actual quote from the Balpa indicative ballot result:
"Asked if they would be prepared to support industrial action in a formal BALPA
ballot, a total of 97% said yes. And, when asked to indicate what sort of action they
would be prepared to support, 12% of those said action up to – but excluding –
strike action, with a massive 88% saying they would support strike action as well."
Hopefully it will never come to that ...

I think the answer ot the first question lies in the title - a 'BALPA' ballot! Doh!
As to the second question of percentage of BALPA members within the pilot workforce, I would think it about 50%. Perhaps Young Paul could give a more accurate figure?

Have to say I like JR. As a manager though I think he's pissed a lot of people off. More power to the bmibaby pilots. I hope they go for an all out strike action.
As far as the bmi mainline cc are concerned they should go hide under a stone somewhere. They were given mandate after mandate and in the end delivered a poxy payrise. Disgraceful! I could not believe that they recommended the company final offer. They have ruined BALPA representation within bmi mainline and should start learning from the baby!
I for one am not leaving BALPA just yet but I'm certainly thinking about it. Most of my mates have left.

You sound like one of THEM!!!
FYI, if a strike action is called and indeed executed the stark choice faced by management is this:
Today thay have a company worth some money.
With their backs to the wall, after the strike they will have nowt!
Most baby pilots are leaving anyway and since no one is seeing their future in baby at the moment, I mean interviews everywhere etc, people need to get what they deserve if they are to stay even one more year.
Your posting therefore is defeatist and hardly productive sir!

According to Sir Michael a few months back in the press, Baby was the only part of the group making money.
This is on the back of all staff who have been dumped on time & again by 'management'! There is alot of movement in the industry right now and Baby pilots are worth more than they are getting at present.
We are not looking for a large raise this year but 1.5 % together with lifestyle improvements. If we don't fight for these now we will never get them. Next pay deal must bring us back into line with other 'Locos'.
Staff turnover this year is already going to be horrendous. The new CEO will realise that is going to cost BMI.
