BA management will be licking their chops looking at this thread. As if last year’s capitulation wasn’t bad enough, they now have a successfully divided and in-fighting work force to plot their next, and probably imminent, attack against. Thankfully for the rest of us, the days of benchmarking T&Cs against BA appear to be behind us, so argue away.
From an outsider (non-BA)/insider (same industry) perspective - Anyone at the top of the list has earned the right to choose how and when they ride off into the sunset, however if you’re holding on for no other reason than a deluded sense of self worth or that your life will be meaningless without four stripes on your shoulder, maybe it really is time to take a look in the mirror.
As you were.
