vino - it's not a major setback at all.........We have some great intellects on the BACC with excellent legal advice - I am confident that they have the 'situation' under control and are ready to outfox the company again and again and again...........
Could I refer all the non pilots on this forum to posts 193/196 by biddedout. He/she really is able to see the wood for the trees and appreciates that only under the greatest duress would we, as a professional body, consider taking industrial action. Thank you for your perceptive comments (as an earlier poster has acknowledged) and I hope some of the less sympathetic/supportive posters are able to comprehend the significant points you make concerning (1) key characteristics of professional pilots and (2) BA management's role in the creation of this pitifull mess.
I fear however, that a lot of the anti BA pilot postings are written by people with agendas who have no interest in seeing things as they really are....
