Thank you Donnie - I shall try and emulate him. I already look like him.
TFlier: An earlier post alluded to most of your posts being of the stirring nature. It is difficult to disagree.
On the subject of BALPA, it is probably unfair and certainly unacceptable to imply you don't have a right of comment because you are not a member. That is your choice as much as it is the choice of members to have joined and accept that the subs benefit those who don't contribute. That too will not change. However you deny yourself an important opportunity, via the BALPA website, to voice your opinion and be heard by those trying to get the best deal for everyone, namely the CC. Unfortuenately you would lose the cloak of anonymity but it means you could actually better your lot. As it is your sniping from the sidelines does nothing for your prospects and gets right up everyone's pipe. By all means challenge the staus quo - progress demands it but come out of the shadows, form a reasoned argument and be heard. If it puts all this inter fleet warfare to bed then sign me up right now - as I said earlier, it plays right into the hands of management.
What is happening here is an attempt at a reasoned debate. I apologise for the fleet size crack as it clearly offends you. There is of course an option to trying to use the established system to better your lot. Leave. Lots of places going at FlyBe. Failing that, accept that there will always be losers, the question is how much of a loser you want to be? Make of that what you will.
Anyway, if you like, I'll draw you a picture when I get back from my ballet class.
