Oh tiny prince

You speak, apparently enviously, of mainline secondees sitting in their (your?) LHS earning dramatically more money. My friend, if they are sitting in YOUR left hand seat, comfort yourself in the knowledge that Captains generally do earn more than co-pilots! If, for some reason, they are not in YOUR LHS, what is your problem?

Pilots working for MANY other companies will be earning different amounts to pilots in BACX. Mainline secondees have a different employer to you, BUT have, in many cases, been working from the same bases, on the same routes, in the same colour scheme, with the same cabin crew, for the SAME employer for many years.

YOU are the one who is "wet behind the ears" in this operation. You are the interloper, NOT those you denigrate!

In any case, you should be more grateful, for without their presence, BACX could not have been 'gifted' this particular train set, or trains, at all!

Can you see the irony in all this?

Two years ago, all anybody heard was how, people like you could do the regional job so much cheaper than those expensive mainline guys (who perhaps single handedly prevented BAR from EVER making a profit!)

Now you have your feet under the table, all we hear is how you deserve the same T & Cs as the people you displaced!!

Incredible!

You got the gig, because you are cheap! So enjoy your 'success!' Why do you expect support from those you displaced?

Like me!

Good luck with the application! (Oh, and try not to mention your pprune name at the interview, won't you!)
