Phoenix son Perhaps Ryanair pilots should value themselves more? If BA went down that road, they would lose half of their pilots tomorrow. After all, it only costs 30 odd grand to go and do a full time 1 yr MBA. The other half of the workforce would stay and continue kidding themselves that BA have their best interests at heart. Mind you , it is reassuring to know that the current Flt Ops Mgmt team would fight our corner to the death.
