With me so far ! That BA pilots have been able to maintain.... what are nothing more than restrictive operating practices for so long is simply unacceptable and a red rag to the industry.
You seem to be quite willing to level accusations of restrictive operating practices at BA pilots but, like so many other posters, are unwilling to produce actual examples of such practices. Perhaps you, like the others, are simply jumping on the anti-BA bandwagon supported only by years of prejudice and outdated ideas.
By holding up the medics as an example you reveal yourself to have been somewhat detached from the real world for the last 5 years or so. The world has changed since you last looked outside and I doubt you'll find many junior medics sharing your rosy view of the royal colleges.
