Do you honestly believe that it would be any other way? I'm not aware of any BA pilots claiming that this fight is for the benefit of anyone but the BA pilots themselves.
Maybe true but for the reasons others have metioned this is good for anyone joining PL. BA pilots are not directed onto other fleets or even to upgrade so if you are happy at PL stay, however I don't think anyone can argue that having access to BA mainline is a disadvantage.
I predict Lots of yes men, with many european pilots moaning about not being able to do visuals
This gets on my nerves why do people assume BA pilots are prohibited/unable to do visual approaches?
