As for being the best, well! I would not say we are only a cut above charter, we are a cut above the lot
Very amusing to find that there are still people in Brits, who like some BA folks actually do believe that they are better than everyone else. No doubt BY have some very good guys but then so do most operators, to go round thinking the pilots in your own company are better then everyone elses is pure self-delusion. Even operators who consider themselves a "cut above the lot" come to grief sometimes as your company found out not that many years ago.
