My message to the BA pilots is: Evolve or die. Your competitors are evolving
I am not BA, but I am aware of their terms and conditions. How do you think they can evolve? They are already working to limits or at least the artificial limits imposed by trying to work out of LHR. They have a good rostering system, which seems to be able to produce maxmum efficiency in terms of hours on seat, so what's the probem? They are paid well, but no more than their mainline competitors and probably not much more than the so called LoCo competitors. Time to command issues and the rempval of the FS pession probably means that some FO's will be signifcantly wore off over a career span than ther equivalents in the Charter / LOco World. They they do not have ridiculous allowances. They simply get Duty pay at a rate appropriate for touring round Europe and LH.
Please explain what you mean by adapting. Adapting to what level?
I work for a LoCo, am home vritually every night and at the moment am probably earling as much
per flying hour as a BA LH capt. I also have my medicals paid for and free parking.
