You may consider the BAR cabin crew disgruntled and workshy (they weren't)
You forgot overpaid
And sorry, but in my opinion some were. If they wanted to be in mainline on proper aeroplanes they could have easily gone back to London.
My first encouter with a BAR dragon was on day three of line training in MAN, when some handbag faced old boot pointed out I was sitting in the BA section of the crewroom and should move.......How I laughed. Then I laughed even more when I realised she was being serious.
We can all quote examples because no one is perfect. Honestly Hand, I don't know why you've such a chip on your shoulder about BACX. Yes there were some oddballs there, I've met some oddballs who are BA pilots too. Mainline guys may have missed some command opportunities with the skypigs coming to BACX, I'm sure some BACX guys missed command opportunities because of the secondies - no-ones fault but the devious management gits at BA, I'm afraid playing us all for suckers. That includes the poodles inflicted upon us as BACX managers.
At least BA got some LHR slots out of the deal. What did we get? Shafted. Not by BA pilots, but by BA management who never wanted a regional airline, just a tool to sort out the BAR issue. There are a lot of quietly (and noisily)pee'd off ex BACX people out there, but the issue is with BA. I repeat, management, not pilots, so drop it.
Maybe someone should set up a thread on Jetblast where all the ex BACX and BA crews can vent their spleens about every perceived and actual slight ever commited by the other side.
Must go, Grand Designs is on, I want to watch the Grand Master of patronising in action, I might learn something.
