I believe you're right, and I believe that BA pilots are right, at least from a the perspective of Pay and Conditions survival....however, anyone from GSS / Connect / BACX / Dan Air may be excused for wondering where the support was when they needed it too. Still, I'm quite quite sure that we're all sufficiently altruistic to "do as you would be done by" and gracefully forget the days when the bat was not even greased before being abruptly inserted.
