Spelling aside, allow me to correct some of your 'factoids'
1. Hardly caught out. Easy were small, Ryanair were hardly players, GO weren't in existence, Maersk were doing rather well. Few of the ex-Brymon drivers I've met believe their company would be in existence today as a standalone entity. BRAL would be the same. ATPs and 145s in a 737 dominated regional market? Pull the other one.
2. Sadly old bean you are wrong.
3. Semantics again.
4. I didn't dispute you were on the CC. I merely pointed out you were only party to a small part of the overall negotiations. My information came from parties involved in all the negotiations. Perhaps that explains what was considered a rather bizarre attempt to veto BA pilots flying the RJ when that had already been negotiated between the BACC and BA as part of the price BA paid for transferring the aircraft out of mainline.
5.Plenty of shades of grey in FCOs, you just need to know where to look. Frankly I've shared too many pints with BACX crews in GLA and at home base to tar them all with the same brush, but I've seen enough to know that you've got your weirdos too.
6. You asked, I responded. My humble apologies for being unable to match your omniscience. Perhaps you learned that at CFS.
