EZY have a good relationship with Balpa, whereas FR ... yes,
well.

Given FR is an Irish based company, why should it have any
relationship with Balpa?

Because their permanent Stansted staff (their largest site) are
employed in the UK under English law?

But does that include pilots?


Yes, and cabin crew.


I wasn't convinced given the large proportion of flight (as opposed
to cabin) crew that were from Eastern Europe. I could easily believe
that O'Leary was saving money by using pilots 'based' in eg Poland,
being paid Polish salaries rather than British rates.

That would certainly be a cause of friction with Balpa.


Yes, that makes a lot of sense.
