The most bizzare thing is that, by fighting the totally incompetent management of BA (as proven over the T5 cost cutting debacle) and preventing them from destroying a national carriers terms and conditions BALPA
IS protecting the jobs of the LCC's and every other pilot wishing to earn a crust in the UK industry!
If the T's & C's of a national carrier get cut to the bone and all of the other management muppets see there is no reason for the overpaid stick monkies to climb the greasy pole as there are no better T's & C's out there how long will the overall decline take?????
Progress to higher wages and better conditions props up the conditions down stream as well! So quit whining!
(Also had to work bl**dy hard to get where I am today, including the low level stuff
and am not about to let some Irish git pi$$ it away whilst pocketing his, not inconsiderable, payoff)
