Mike Oscar,
By far the majority, I guess 90%, of Cityflyer pilots really don't need any morale boosting. Everybody age elligible is being offered a BA mainline contract, the others a BA EOG contract. Everybody is getting a pay rise, some large, some not quite so large. Factor in monstrous pension payments, rock solid rosters, and numerous other goodies, plus the option to bid for LHR longhaul in a few years and the future does indeed seem bright.
