Correct, this is a forum for all to contribute and I say it's all the better for it.
However, you are posting on something from the outside ... i.e. you are not so well informed, yet feel you can post with such certainty about things "because your mate works here". Well, my mates work in other airlines, but I don't join into their debates posting what are provocative comments in sensitive times. Sorry mate, but it shows a lack of professionalism and certainly a lack of manners.
You're free to post what you like on here, but just what do you wish to achieve by getting people's backs up?
I'm not against you posting reasoned comments for or against, as that's what healthy debate is about. But frankly, unless you work here and know the facts, I doubt you're really qualified to comment. Fortunately, we have a forum which filters out all the noise, it's called the BALPA forum
Perhaps your mate should be posting on here with a counter arguement if things are so wonderful.
Now, please don't draw me into an arguement with you. I don't take kindly to wind-up merchants!
