brabazon,
You answered that one yourself ---- Messing Around !
Trust me, I'd love to see the 146 replaced with 319's or 737's - but I'll believe it when I see it.
Fiona,
Coming from our ops director that doesn't surprise me, the only thing is I can't believe he hasn't thought this one through. That's a large percentage that would be unhappy with 5% - we can't afford to loose any more pilots.
As for the 49% who voted Yes - well you can't blame them. The Balpa CC personally recommended this offer and put an argument forward for doing so ???
