I take it your're not a BA pilot bat.man? If that is correct then why do you consider yourself an expert on relations between BA management and our union representatives? A single letter in The Log by one moaning Captain is not representative of the views of the other 3499 or so BA pilots. I would consider the relationship far from cosy, and as a BA pilot I have access to far more information than you. Just because the two aren't at constant loggerheads does not mean they are in each others pockets.
