Post Gimme, gimme - I'm a BA pilot!

Have you seen the letter from one 777 pilot in the BA news this week? He is suggesting that, as there may have been some mainline input into the GO start-up some years ago, BA staff should have some benefit in cash or kind when GO float on the market.

This unbelievable thirst for other people’s benefits is just typical of the mercenary attitude of BA pilots. As if they didn’t have enough already working for one of the best-paid airlines in Europe. I was there and I know that BA were allowed minimal input into the launch of GO, and this pilot himself certainly did nothing at all, nor did it cost him anything. Where do these people come from and why do they think that the rest of the world should pay them homage and royalties?

Beyond belief…sad but true, read his letter for yourself!
