Its quite simple. Ba lhr longhaul is jobsworth unionised over managed (badly) shambles. Anything else is just posturing and denial.
Its not about hating them , its about fact. Each individual is capable of high standards and personnal pride but the self perpetuating jobswoth monster they join soon asimilates them, or overshadows them or deals with them.
Keeperboy , your arguments, though valid in the world of BA have no effect on people on this board who do twice the duties that ba do without all the trimmings. Thats also a fact, so trying to justify the BA work ethic to people who work twice as hard is just pissing agianst the wind.
