I just KNEW someone would take my post the wrong way. Today it was you. I certainly do not intend to compare and see who has it worse. Understand this.. my post was NOT a whinge.
It is a fact...everyone coming into BA from the charter companies has had a shock. Some have left again, and gone back to doing what you are. They didn't nesessarily find it harder or easier, but their previous employment gave better prospects and much more time with families.
Try to look at things from a different stand point for once.
Well that's me.
BA has to comply with EU employment directives. Look them up if you don't know what I mean.
The cost to BA if it didn't offer the part time contract would be to possibly lose the pilot. The cost implications to BA of replacing a capt are SEVERE. (10 years ago it was unheard of to see a BA capt. considering a move. Nowadays is different. Some have left already, others are looking at Easy Jet, Emirates, Ryan, etc etc. ).
Please everybody. My post is a heads up. Nothing more.
