It's a funny old world. I've actually just read the BA DEP thread. It seems even the BA guys advise against joining BA. Nuff said methinks, except to point out that actually, yes, most of us despise the general attitude coming from guys like you. Individually some of our secondees are good blokes, particularly the ex CFE ones. But as a group?? I suggest you read a few more posts on most peoples views on the BA "Culture" and the type it breeds. If we have any self pity, it's entirely because of what BA have done to our Company - but we're in a long an distinguished list there.
Behind the second midland is a good place for you to sit, try and get a bit closer to the jet pipe, you'll enjoy the whine!!
