indeed - no, just retirement plans, J.Don.
3Greens - I don't think he says he was a pilot - just another member of the green-eyed brigade. (Sorry to use the third person, JDon, but you started it - there are plenty of BA pilots posting on this thread, you can address us directly if you like)
The graveyards are full of those who thought they were indispensible, JDon, we in BA don't think that.
But we know we're not quickly replaceable. You don't get many spare -400, 777 type-rated pilots strolling down tha Bath road (except BALPA reps on their way to a meeting
)
BA training is busting a gut to get its pilots on the right aircraft for the huge Winter programme they've planned - a short sharp shock would make management take us a little less for granted...
