Well I'm glad I'm not part of it.
I do most sincerely hope that it all works out for all concerned, who are staying for whatever reason. I hope the more inflamed posts die out, I doubt they serve much purpose really, and I also doubt whether those in management at whom the insults are aimed actually change their views, if anything I suppose all we achieve is hardening their opinions and increasing their dislike and distrust of the pilot community generally. However they really don't show much leadership do they?
I predict that Cheese will not last long before being exposed for what he is, and also that the remaining Sliced Bacon management will not be retained in post after their fleets are disposed of. With regard to BACON RASHER Mk 3, up in EDI, again, it has my most profound best wishes for success. I'm not sure right now who has ended up running it, but at the end of the day if sufficient investment is provided from Waterworld, it will flourish and be profitable - it all depends on what the BA accountants want to show. To my mind, the big question is what Willie's REAL strategy is; is he just keeping the slots warm, or does he intend it to have a genuine role. If the latter, then it will need to become more than an 8 or 10 aircraft operation to be equitable. The trouble I would have would be believing him and his minions after the years of lies, misdirection, and disingenuous hypocrisy which have been the hallmark of BA ever since they became involved with us. At the end of the day, you all have to make your decision and then hope you're right, it's no good projecting your worry, negative thoughts and concerns onto Prune or anywhere else as a means of sounding off - it just will not achieve anything except further polarisation of the workforce, which in turn will enable the Jim and Willie show to divide and rule!
Good luck!
