The trouble with BA is that there are too many civilian trained pilots and those of us who have the best trainging in the world bar none receive no enhanced seniority and are made to fac humiliation with 2 stripes on joining, then are supposed to answer to some spotty 30 year old captain.

Also BALPA is infested with militant little oiks who need some discipline in their lives (I refuse to be a member).

At least more and more management positions are being filled by ex-RAF pilots which is a very welcome thing.

Once 2006 legislation comes in we may be able to challenge the seniorty system and gain some rightful enhanced seniority for those of us who have served Queen and Country, and not spent half our lives being mollicoddled by house masters and approved schools, or, God forbid, come from GA.
