Tandemrotor,
polite...yes, well argued...ok, but not correct. The "reasonable request" you are talking about is more like "Uncle Vito's (initially) gentle persuation" to "OFFER" protection for small business owners in good old Napoli.
BA's core business is......Passenger Transport.., not Freighter Services. BA World Cargo is nothing but a Freight forwarder, just like Panalpina, Kuhne & Nagel and many others. They do not own or operate Freighters, therefore have NO Cockpit Jobs. (mathematically ZERO cockpit jobs). How can you take away jobs if there is ZERO to begin with ???
Come on you BA guys, you must have had math in school to become pilots !!!!!
Bottom line, GSS does not take ANY jobs away from BA. On the contrary, they create office jobs at BAWC and fill the gap for a product, which BA does not provide on their own.....and BA doesn't own GSS !!
And the "customer is right" thing.....According to your logic I can buy myself a ticket on BA and then just claim, that I have the right to fly the airplane myself (Customer is always right, huh ??)
Sorry - no offence, but get real !!
