It would be killing the goose that lays the golden eggs, wouldn't it?

Everyone knows we're on the verge of making HUGE profits (the last quarter would have been OK without the £100m write-off due to the sale of BACON which hasn't even happened yet - go figure that!). Who's going to get the most benefit from those profits? The pilots or the directors/managers?

I would suggest that their Hobson's choice is more clearly defined than ours WRT sending the company bankrupt. I can still earn a similar package with Easy/Ryan/Emirates/Etihad, my life would go on if BA fold. I'd probably try Virgin 'coz they'd be bound to expand - only six years seniority to lose anyway.
