Hi all,
As an ex Bmed employee and ex BA employee, I would like to say that both airlines are great in their own right. There will be some challenging times ahead as Bmed gets used to new ownership, the industry is ever changing and I guess this is the sign of the times perhaps. I still have friends at Bmed and I am thankful that they have not lost their jobs.
As for the bickering/rivalry, I see no point in it and ask yourself, what would that achieve?
Peace and good wishes.
