I used to be proud to be part of BA, now I am embarrassed by their attack on the pilots. Sad that my BA could have changed so much.
I used to be proud of the community of pilots that I could call myself part of, now some of them embarrass me with their forum posts. I'm embarrassed for myself because I might have called some of those greedy, selfish pilots my friends. I hope I never knew Fly747.
Good luck to all of you out there, whoever you fly for. Most guys at the top had an expectation of a career at BA until 55. Every extra year a bonus. I hope that at least some do the right thing.
Bringing a ten year old plus (or more like 16 year old?) situation into this discussion is irrelevant. (I suspect that
Fly747 hopes that he never flew with you.) Pensions are very, very different now.
Done. And I will be encouraging others.
