Wow ! Written as though we really are in one of those time warps that has launched us back to the 70s !
C'mon guys and gals you need to wake up to the new competitive World, most other facets of this business have put behind them, the Nationalised Industry ethic some decades ago..
BA MANAGER, you say that, then you say you are not out to incite!
I strongly resent your implications. BA pilots are amongst the most task-oriented and 'onside' groups in the company. We regularly exceed our agreed limits, receiving only a 'thank-you' letter as reward. Instead we are forced to wait for transport for up to an hour at the end of a long duty day/night. (Imagine the ruckus if Watersiders were kept waiting for an unspecified period for a bus home at the end of a hard day's latte drinking!)
