The trouble with a lot of the BA moaning that goes on is that a sizeable number of BA pilots have never worked for any other airline. Therefore they have a very strange attitude as to what they think BA owes them.
A reality check into the real world not wrapped up in cotton wool would do some good. The others that wind me up are the ones who moan about time away from home. We are pilots for Christ sake.If you want to be at home every night change jobs.
That's not to say BA doesn't have its issues but compared to most outfits its the dogs ********. Its just that from the inside and with nothing to compare it to people can get a bit precious.
Good luck to all those joining. If you have come from Charter/LoCo/cowboy outfit you will think you will love it because lets be honest chaps....
Its still the place to be ahead, still of Virgin, who I would say come in a comfortable second.
Anyone who says they don't want to work for either of them has either failed selection or doesn't quite get it
