SuperStall: good post, agree with your sentiments.
Skellan: What Tandemrotor has to say about BAR is entirely true.
To all those nigel bashers out there, a question. A huge percentage of BA DEP's have joined from other UK operators, charters, lowcost and scheduled, both from the LHS and RHS. Therefore a lot of you out there, deriding BA pilots, presumably flew with us in previous lives. And presumably at the time you thought we were OK blokes. So tell me, at what point exactly was it that we all became to$$ers. Was it the day we applied to BA, the day we joined or was it perhaps the day your application was rejected??
And in response to the "I would never want to join BA" brigade, I echo a previous posters comments: THEN DON'T. There are many operators that I would choose not to apply to but I don't feel the need to broadcast it the fact.
Regards to all
