Hey 172
Please can you tell my fleet manager that I am a carfully chosen Drone!!! I can hear him cracking ribs laughing.
BA may not have the best pilots, though some of them are (World formation aerobatic champions etc). But apart from the usual 5%, the guys are great to fly with and highly professional. I am sure in your employ ALL the pilots are ace operators, outstanding Teamskills and technical stars. Unfortunatuly ours are a bit more-----Human
Yep BA is a huge company and that has its disadvantages with corporate selection. However we are less likely to suffer from personality clash cultures affecting careers than smaller airlines. I am glad our recruiters take on people who "want it enough", it does make it a better flight deck atmosphere than flying with the whingers.
Yes we have a long way to go commercially, but are better placed than others.
As for your statement
i'm happy as when i fly i know i'm truly in command in my Euro-electric-jet
You are so correct brother, and for me especially in BA.
Now must go and email your drone quote to management they are going to sooo love that one
Respect to all
