People line up to join BA because they believe flying a bigger chunk of metal or putting a picture of their hat and British Airways name badge on their Instagram page named “xxxx_the_pilot” or “pilotxxxx” is more important than T&Cs and pay.
And this is why things will never improve. There will always be a steady stream of personality vacuums willing to join BA simply for the opportunity to boost their self-importance and get the validation they never had in the real world, at the expense of those who have a life outside of social media. The management know this.
