easyjet and a few others would like a word...

Would BA be going through all this turmoil now if their pilots could up sticks and leave for better pastures? The industry has changed from 'back in the day', one can't reasonably and realistically expect to start at an airline and finish there 30 years later... that security is no longer there, so seniority is meaningless and beneficial in only one direction. The fact that unions support it is neither here nor there. The whole point of this thread is that there needs to be a change in the 'status quo' and I welcome it.
