Previously I posted this:
Do BA pilots really deserve our support re Openskys?
Good question - overall I think in the interests of the industry as a whole the answer has to be yes.
That said, IMHO, there are one or two individuals posting on Pprune who are doing an injustice to their cause.
Any attempts at intimidation here do not do the majority of BA pilots any favours. Start calling people "Scabs" (charming term from the dark ages) if you must once you've got yourself a strike action. At the moment intimidation is likely to lose you support and harden the resolve of those considering Openskies.
The T's & C's offered by Openskies may not be as good as what's on offer at BA but the stark reality is compared to quite a few other companies they're not bad. The fact is people will be interested and apply no matter what is posted here.
There also seems to be an arrogance over the qualifications/selection into mainstream BA compared to OS. This is not helped wth quotes from BALPA spokesmen, like:
"This is going to create flight crews that are not as well-trained and experienced as those currently employed - it's a major problem."
and other references to less able/qualified pilots.
What unsubstantiated rubbish this is arrogant and insulting to the rest of the pilot community. There are plenty of excellent pilots around who chose not to apply to BA or even attended Cranebank and didn't quite fit their mould.

My intention was to point out that there are a few individuals here on Pprune doing the 3,000 or so BA pilots an injustice with their attitude and leave it at that but it obviously touched a nerve in the way that the truth often does.
Tandemrotor - I think your two rotors are producing some weird harmonics cos you are
totally wrong about me, however I must thank you for proving the point I was making.
I genuinely have absolutely no idea who the hell Delvanious is - perhaps the moderators or Delvanious himself could help here? I don't even know what GSS is let alone be able to give an opinion on it.
I can also assure you that just because you made a connection with me wanting to move to France (which didn't happen), does not mean I have a job with Openskies. I'm sorry you'll have to throw your "scab" abuse elsewhere, I most certainly do not have a job with Openskies and am in fact happily employed elsewhere. Back to detective school for you Sherlock.
The last time you made it personal and posted about me you went back and edited it later. Are you gonna do the same to this one in an attempt to stop yourself looking the a**e you clearly are?
BTW best of luck to the huge majority of BA pilots - none of us want or deserve an erosion of T's & C's.
