It's interesting to note that it seems to be only BA postees who are enthusing about the:
"well, that's aviation, just bend over and smile, your turn will come..."
outlook on this type of situation. Of course, from the point of view of the big battalions, that is understandable, if morally and ethically bankrupt. One genuinely looks forward to reading the howls of outrage when the cold winds of economic reality finally affect the BA mainline pilot community.
