How about stonewalling BALPA for 6+ months when they wanted to talk about OS? How about refusing to negotiate on anything whatsoever to do with OS for the two months that they were actually willing to speak about it? How about refusing point blank to allow any BALPA rep to see the OS business plan, then on the eve of the strike ballot result deciding that, actually, any BA pilot can see it if they want it?
I'd say those made BA management incompetent, belligerent and pig-headed.

Congrats Gertrude, you win the prize for most moronic comment of the day. As it's clearly escaped your notice Indian citizens generally don't have the right to live and work in the EU, just like citizens of any other non-EU nation and, yes, you too are protected by that. If you weren't those offshore Indian processing centres wouldn't be necesary as the Indians would be in the UK, competing for your job here. If you're going to come out with downright stupid statements like that maybe you should restrict yourself to the PPL forum.
