What a sad and depressing thread, and what depressing occupants! Rather than respond to ridiculous demands of allowances and pay and flying to the final penny, I think these people should be ignored, This is a NEWS forum, not an area for those 'BA wannabees, but never were' to give abuse. BA is just doing fine- the loads are good, flights are full, time to start upping the yields. If they want to think that the BA pilots are sinking this outfit, may I suggest that this forum is not the area to disabuse them!
