It seems to me that most of the negative posts about BA come from those who don't work for the Company.
BA has created a lot of its own problems and cannot blame the economy/09/11 for its misfortunes but why are these people hoping that the Company fails - what purpose will this serve?
There needs to be an airline that pilots aspire to and BA is in the best position to provide this. It has started on the right track to reform, albeit reactively and still needs to tackle working practices. You can be sure that the management will be looking at these areas when they have enough cash/confidence to take on the unions.
I can only take as envy this 'schaden fraude' aginst BA. I work for the Company but have been on the 'other side' working for charter/RAF. I am suitably placed to know that we work just as hard as our colleagues in other airlines (90% of us do anyway!) and we get just as frustrated at the Company's inefficiencies.
Please try and cut out the petty and worthless back stabbing.
