Spread the word. Let's get organised and do this!
As foreseen, the issue of charging staff for hold baggage got everyone's backs up, nothing was said or done by the company about it after all the initial complaining on the crew website and now it seems, that is that!!

I hope the CC does bring it up. They are people who have stepped forward to try and make things better for us all and I want them to get the best back-up possible against:
......THIS sort of event. Being charged for bags is insulting, but the real slap in the face is being totally ignored when we try, in a measured "company" way that you'd hope would bring some response, to say that we think this isn't right.
Bringing things in without consultation and then ignoring any dissent is just not the right way to operate. There is a difference between a voice heard and a voice listened to.
JOIN BALPA!!

You don't need BALPA, you need a new job!
............. it's just I think it would be a million times better if we had improved T & C's!!
I've been looking at those of other airlines and it does make one feel a little green

I think someone just hit the nail on the head.
It appears to be a good company - and to have good staff. And I'm told it may even have some good managers & directors. (Don't shoot me yet!!)
The issue appears to be that PM wants to involve himself with the day to day running of the company instead of letting his managers do that!
I know this is a pilot website but ALL staff are affected by the new pay for baggage policy. And I understand that even those higher up were not all aware of or impressed with the idea.
Back on topic - There seems to be differing views on BALPA - not my place to comment but I hope you all find an appropriate voice to support you as your company grows.
