If you ask >75% of unionised members in Virgin Atlantic about their opinion of BALPA, it won't be a favourable one - hence the mass membership exodus.

How many Cabin crew do we have?

We must have more than 4000 C/C as we have 750 pilots that fly 750 hours a year with only a handful of part timers!

The numbers don't seem to add up to me! My guess is at least 5000.
