I just wanted to say to members of staff who are not pilots but who read these threads - this is NOT about the pilots vs the rest of the working groups. That is what the company want you to think it is. I have spoken to engineers, cabin crew and load controllers and they ALL bar none have been supportive. I would urge ALL pilots in mainline, regional and baby, to take every chance they get to make sure that workers in other areas know what the issues are. Whilst we sit at the end with the point on it we all know that in reality it takes a team to get the aircraft into the air.
I would support any working group in the company who are prepared to put their hands up and say - no more, enoughs enough.
Good luck to all bmi pilots.
