Bigpants............I also hear a cheeky little rumour that the man had a wee problem with a line check and then tried to pull rank on his trainer cos he was a bit cross!!!!!!!!
Could never be true............
The point is that this is an insight into the mentality of BA managers passed and present at CX who second safety and the welfare of passengers and their staff to pursuit of their own goals (which presumably have nice bonuses pegged to them)
As to any secondee whose platinum tail feathers have been ruffled:-
Get used to these facts:-
The opinion which you hold of yourselves is not shared by most CX pilots.
Through your own good fortune you are being paid shed loads more money than CX guys to do exactly the same job and your package of benefits is out of all proportion to what your counterparts get. (some will be retiring on pensions of £8000 per annum.....................think about it)
What would you be prepared to do to support better conditions for your colleagues at CX????
Answer. Not a lot
What sort of a mangement is it that thinks this situation will not depress morale and cause huge resentment?
Answer. One that has its trotters in the trough also and has the same Ts and Cs. Mr DF and his mates could have lead from the front and torn up their BA contracts. Instead they kept them and now bawl instructions like some armchair generals from the safety of their bunkers.
Small wonder morale is through the floor and pilots are not interested in going an extra mile for a company that discriminates so apallingly against them.
