Thanks for biting M.Mouse!
"If what you say is correct then by all means attack the writer but a broad, unfair and, in the main, untrue sweeping generalisation does not add to your credibility or strength of argument"
Well, I wasn't arguing or even after credibility or strength of argument. If I was, I don't think I would be writing on an anonymous rumour forum!!
In the main, as you say, it probably is a sweeping comment but all the BA pilots I know (do you want my staff number?) talk incessantly about what a particular bid line or trip is worth and how much the Americans get for the same job. Where I came from, who you are flying with and where you were going were always the main points of interest. Grateful for the money, of course, but never talked about it.
Just read the article - don't take my word for it.
