ban head,
yes i do.
had i know i'd be fighting for my pension and that the company would try and steal it from me, then staying in the 'cocoon' that was the balkans and the desert might have been a better option! at least i knew who was out to f*ck with me!
i'm not stroking anything. i'm only in agreement with the concerns that some senior trainers and a couple of recruiters have expressed to me in the last 12 months. if you want to take that as a personnel attack on your ability then fine, it's not. it only takes 1 mistake to end it for us all. i'm sure you know how close we've been! if your on the 400 you'll know how concerend they are. not saying that the new deps are the problem, that would be nonsense. what i am saying is that those who are in power and are willing to chat down route make no bones about the challenge we face to recruit the standards we need with the deal on the table given the time to command. i've been told that some compromises have been made to get the numbers required. fact. i hope it doesn't bite us.
this thread was about BA pilots being ready to strike. at every chance barps pilots have been on here bleating about how you reap what you sow. whatever the wrongs of barp if 90% of ba's pilots to stike for the pensions they SIGNED UP FOR it will have NOTHING to do with the deal that BARP joiners knew they were signing up for. stop mergeing the 2.
i'll say it again, i'll back the union in any action over barps. your suppport over naps is welcome but not expected.
