@Shaka Zulu,
I apologise. I intentionally took your post out of context in order to try and make a point. I appreciate that your particular situation makes it necessary that you at least 'look at what is on offer' and weigh up the pros and cons. ( I work for an european airline and live in London, so if my company started a UK based equivalent of OS, I too would be compelled to have a look)
I can see too, that BA at some point, may begin to expand OS to the detriment of Mainline. What then? You may well be stuck on those OS T&C's with no option to go back to Mainline. The CC will then be in the unenviable position of having to fight on the one hand, for correspondingly improved T&C's at OS, and on the other hand, represent mainline pilots who feel that they are being 'forced' to accept the lower OS T&C's just to further their careers. A dilema, whichever way you look at it.
