As an outsider in all this, it is quite interesting to see the contrasting views of all the affected pilot groups.
Whilst there will obviously be a 180 degree divergence between the views of pilots like 757coolpilot and existing BA Mainline pilots, it seems that there is also a slight difference of views within existing BA pilots themselves.
For example, Shortfinalfred paints a very negative picture of life at OS, but that picture, if it is common knowledge within BA, does not appear to dissuade the likes of Shaka Zulu who would happily give up the exisiting BA Mainline T&C's to join OS.
So, at the end of the day, is it more likely that this dispute will be resolved to no ones satisfaction? OS pilots on the Mainline list but with inferior T&C's seems like a halfway solution. Why not OS pilots on the Mainline list with Mainline T&C's, or OS pilots not on the Mainline list at all?
.........and no, I am not a BA Manager!
