Suvarnabhumi - fair enough, but isn't that part of what this thread is about?
I reckon this is the most united we have been for ages. Ok, there are new bods in BARP, but not all that many and the APS guys are probably alright. But the main body of us pilots are in NAPS and we do have some pressure to bear - we'll see what happens. WW didn't get away with some of the more unreasonable stuff he wanted to do in Lingus, so lets hope he doesn't manage it in BA. Reasonable stuff is needed, no doubt though.
Human Factor - you are of course right, but I doubt we will be in that position any time soon. How many pilots would someone like Etihad take? 40 from mixed fleets? That could be accommodated with a few tactical cancellations and force draft. Not a good or desirable position to be in, but its nothing the company aren't used to.
