BA Pilots to Strike
All
Shall we let nature take its course. The tissues are at the ready. Doesn't the song go 'we didn't start the fire... it was always burning... Bob Aisling was put in place to start the process of breaking the unions. A good start with the cabin crew was made for Willy to finish off. Do your pursers still hail from their lairs in southern spain , fly in to smokie and mince there way around the work place. Who pays for those cheap seats...sorry guys.. no pun intended. Must control costs. Cut staff travel now and allow just 10% discount on full price. Shareholders take note. I do hope that the FO's pay has caught up with the cabin crews and that the ''command bridge ''pay for the long term FO s = no hopers or fleet / base protection players, who will not reach command before retirement ,jumps in decent chunks for the pension calculation. I hope that:
the hundred or more pilots that leave BA each year to persue careers in the big wide world will write an article or two in the Log.
that the young man in charge of cadet recruitment eventually achieves command before retirement.
that they reinstate cheese board and the free use of Latin by senior captains. [ ok just taking the piss] That some of the young turks on a mission in BA ....eventually catch up with us 50 gusting seventies and realise that we have long seen this coming. The market will make a correction.
Tissues please... and be quick.
