All that Arizona sun has addled old 411a's bitter brain, like a bad egg. "Pilots are dumb"; "eat dirt and die"; "work for my make-believe airline for peanuts"; "its not even a job, let alone a career"; "profession is an inappropriate term"; "bus-drivers"; "live like a monk and feed your family from WalMart unless you want to starve in retirement" - on and on you drone, 411a. What next, go on, surprise us, tell us why you feel this way? On the other hand, dont bother...: "its all done by computers these days, innit?"; "You lot just sit there and look out the window", etc. etc. The list goes on.
Where do you see the future of airline flying 411a, and who would you like flying your family around? What would you see as an appropriate compensation level? And, back on-thread, what do you really know about the BA pension situation, except that you hope we all lose every last part of the package we have?
Sniping like you do makes me think of embittered ex-management types. Bonus not quite up to scratch was it, after you'd perhaps sh*fted all your colleagues?
BALPA's proposal is a compromise BA would be advised to accept. 411a doesn't even know the detail of either BA's plans or BALPA's proposal, which says all we need to know about his "input" to the debate.
