As ground staff for BA I find much of this thread interesting as naturally it effects me as well, not that the Flt deck community has ever given a toss about anyone else, anyway, or the company. BA culture in fairness to them sees many areas of work being every man and woman for themselves and little has changed despite vast sums spent on teaching new cultures in my 30 plus years. However, I have yet to see the pilot community lead any type of industrial action as they have always bottled it after getting a few concessions. If this should be your chosen course of action then good luck to you but as some have stated you would probably be back with BA2 with worse conditions? I sympathise also that one day sees your role as senior managers culture and attitude and the next day you are as militant as terminal 1 loaders.
