I've never believed that everyone aspires to BA, but for as long as somebody else pays more people will leave and employers feel the upward pressure on T&Cs. Once the top tier starts to come down that pressure on employers eases and it's not good for pilots.
BA pilots protecting their own turf is emminently reasonable. We'd all do the same. I would.
But the belief that OpenLies T&C's will exert downward pressure on T&C's outside the organization is a little deluded IMHO.
The only UK organization that benchmarks against BA is probably VS, and BA certainly don't benchmark against RYR.
Have you seen what those guys work for (inspite of their ridiculous claims at the top of this WWW site)?
It couldn't get any worse...
OpenLies will, however, exert catastrophic downward pressure on
your T&C's if you don't secure the critical point you are contesting.
So while your altruism on behalf of the "rest of us" is appreciated, bearing in mind your vanguard status, honestly, this isn't about "us" is it?
But then, as has been mentioned on this thread numerous times, you already know that.
Best of luck.
