Interesting to see the gnashing of teeth by so many low-number pax posters on this thread.
One could be dreadfully cynical and suggest that BA mis-management maybe attempting to drive a propaganda war against those oh-so terrible pilots.
No, they'd never resort to dirty tricks like that would they........
I have nothing whatsoever to do with BA management. The reason there is a low number of postings from pax is that this is not a pax forum and the vast majority of the worlds population is blissfully unaware of PPrune existence.
If someone was to paste a link to this discussion to a place where Joe Public hangs out you would get a pretty nasty response.
I had hoped that BA pilots had moved on from the days of Hamble trained 'hamsters' and the thought that they were above the rest of the flying world.
Looks like I am wrong. Pity......
How do you know if a BA pilot is in the bar? Don't worry he willl soon tell you!
I hate that old joke but I see it is still correct even today.
