Juan,
What action did they take ? Well for a start they probably went to BALPA
The simple fact is it doesn't matter how proactive you are, if it's your CC in disagreement with BACC, history has taught us that BALPA will side with BACC every time.
This is why there is so much bitterness here, not because BA pilots fight for what they have - they have the right to do that............ but because when other pilots do the same they don't get the same support from BALPA.
Those few in BA that think they are gods because they are have a strong CC and are not 'lily livered' have obviously never seen the dark side of BALPA and probably never will.
