It's rather sad to read this thread. You don't find internal dissension like this on the mainline thread. All I can say is that I'm glad I left; people still whinge but somehow stick together better, probably because they have not been divided and conquered like you lot. Can I say that having spent 11 years in BRAL?? well, yes, because I finally smelt the coffee. Am I sad - you bet, and most of all because it seems that Hutchings and his nepotistic arrogant stupid colleagues seem to have won. Just to correct one point - the management DON'T pay for their own healthcare, it's a free perk for them and all their families, just like the car, the share options, the expense account and the extra generous staff travel.
One question - is there ANY humiliation and shafting over that BRAL/BRYMON/BACX/BACN pilots won't accept? Is there ANY line in any sand anywhere???
