At least now with BA people in not all the captains sound like a Toxteth scally.
I quote from a PA
"The weather is real nice down there" in the best Wayne Rooney accent you can imagine.
This after quite posibly the worse Captain's welcome PA I have ever heard.
Also don't the BA guys act as a sort of anti-thesis to the GA flying club boys that now run the RJ as a ......GA flying club operation* instead of an airliner (Ok just about an airliner)
* quote from BACX secondee
Still rest assured if 99.9% of BA pilots had a choice those that are even aware of BACX would get rid of it and let our people go back to the regional mainline bases.
Trouble is BA don't see it like that.
However you may get your independence if the losses continue.
