Email us at TheLog@balpa.org or contact us on social media WHAT YOURE SHARING On getting involved with BALPA Another fascinating morning spent with the @BALPApilots Accident Analysis & Prevention Group. I never saw myself being so keen on the tech side of aviation but I find myself becoming more of a true #avgeek as time goes by! Katy Lee @katherinealee On the need for government support for aviation A support package is vital and urgent. Good to see business leaders putting forward the important message that aviation is not vital for those of us inside the industry, its vital for the whole economy. BALPA @BALPApilots Replying to @BALPApilots Again the entire aviation industry is connected and AOPA has been asking for a recovery plan ahead of other Government priorities all of aviation is on its knees and we need to plan its recovery top down and bottom up. Martin Robinson @AOPAPILOT UK aviation was the 1st affected by COVID, it will likely be the last ALLOWED to recover. We live on a small island & had the greatest aviation industry in the world. This is in danger due to restrictions imposed but Gov can ensure theres an industry left. We need bespoke help. Pants @PantsNeil Good news from @RishiSunak for the arts sector, which has been badly hit by the pandemic. The Chancellor must recognise the crisis for UK aviation in his #Budget tomorrow. BALPA @BALPApilots On our blacklisting legal win against Ryanair Great work by my friends at BALPA, winning a #blacklisting legal victory against #Ryanair Dave Smith @DaveBlacklist On the collapse of Norwegian More sad news for UK aviation.
