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.
