To quote koi on a mytravel thread:
"I watch with sheer horror at what is happening to an airline where I spent over 11 years in the left seat boeing -bus all types. There is an urgent need to change the Dfo who has done so much damage to relations with the pilot workforce when there was always another way. He is simply following his agenda as is the brief. This is happening all over the industry from Cathay to States airlines. There has never been a better reason for a young pilot to seriously consider retraining for another career and limit the damage further. If you think it is going to be better at the national carrier or another charter org you would be wrong. I lay the blame for this at our own door. We should have become a highly organised and Chartered profession decades ago as has benefited the other professions. It is now far to late. Think - family first and get out to a fresh start. Good luck to all."
Maybe koi you should be happy that BA pilots are actually standing up for themselves . If pilots in every other airline stood united, had a strong union and the balls and sense not to allow management and bean counters to ruin the profession, then those young/aspiring pilots might actually have a career ahead of them to look forward to.
Some people make things happen,
Some watch things happen,
While others wonder what has happened.
You my friend are certainly not the former.
