Perhaps there will be less comments about overpaid BA pilots and more understanding of our requests for benchmarking across the whole airline. This has been going on for years. Ba has apparently stripped out over a billion in costs since 9/11. Yet we still fly pax and bags from A to B. It begs the question, why weren't these costs stripped out 10 yrs ago? People on the board need a kick up the arse and if this paydeal goes through , I fear they are going to get one.
