Good luck Pontius and your chums at OS.
Good luck with a) a fuel league table with skippers names or computer codes attached to it, published for all to see, and the threat of a career ending interview with the boss every time you take more than the Flight Plan fuel, for whatever reason.
Good luck with a punctuality league run on the same basis and with the same threats applied, when on most occasions you will be powerless to influence the outcome over which you will be held accountable.
Good luck staying in cut-rate airport hotels in the 'States with the vacuum cleaner roaring away outside your door, and Lord help you if you ever raise an ASR due to crew fatigue.
Good luck too with rosters that would kill an elephant - 6 to 7 transatlantics a month with just two flight crew? Have you ever done that, not just for a few months but for a career? It is lethal.
Good luck with your pay rates as well. Think they will last long after the operation starts do you? The standard tactic of a below inflation pay settlement coming your way soonest, year in, year out, so providing a real time pay cut, year in, year out!
Think you will get a command if you are an IFALPA, BALPA, or even an IPA rep and so much as squeak at management over issues on the line, let alone raise the topic of pay? Not with a "merit based promotion structure" you wont!
And whilst we are at it, BA's costs problem does not lie with its pilots, benchmarked and flying at annual legal flying hour limits, including 150 hours a year more than colleagues at Virgin. Try a wander through the job specs on offer in BA's company newspaper every Friday and stare in wonderment that a low margin business can afford such frippery, let alone a self-inflicted circa $850 million dollar fine that would have seen hard working front line staff with a bonus, but for the incompetence of certain managers.
You are living in cloud cuckoo land Pontius. You are either naive or disingenuous with all that "BA's model is broken" twaddle - in fact, it is so straight off the management song sheet that I suspect you are either a BA manager or an aspirant.
Like I say, Good Luck. You are going to need it.
