Gentlemen, and Ladies, of BA/AA,
I may not be a professional pilot, yet, and am unlikely to achieve the pinnacle of excellence that you have, but the comments and observations from Sick Squid and others, who are concerned about the quality and professionalism of the profession and vocation of pilot, combined with the unity shown by so many in the face of yet another threat from those who fail to understand how, or why this industry functions, gives me great heart. I take my hat off to those who were prepared to stand up and be counted.
I just hope that those in my, current, part of the industry demonstrate similar unity and resolve when their terms and conditions are so threatened, not that I am holding my breath on that score.
United we all stand, but divided we most definitely shall fall.
Octavian
