Gypsy, you write very good stuff.
It may be true that BA management have a bad press for their past and present actions and attitudes, yet if the BA pilots cannot (or maybe refuse to) see how they are perceived by your JOT6 airlines example (and for that, read also most UK Turbo-Prop outfits pilots) then they are doomed to fail; or at least, doomed to ever get any sympathy or support.

It works like this: BA take over Dan Air in the meanest, cruellest way imaginable. BACX likewise. A very great many pilots lives are ruined by BA MANAGEMENT. BA then create a Trojan Horse subsidiary designed to screw over the mainline BA pilot force some years after screwing over everyone else that came within range. Every single pilot who was screwed over in phase one, (Dans and BACX), now rubs their hands with glee and says "got you too now, you bastards, you deserve every inch of the bat your going to get".
Yes. Absolutely. If there had been ANY support from
BALPA at that time, of the same nature and volume currently being deployed against the OS concept, then I'm quite sure the vast majority of posts on here would be different.
Unfortunately, there was zilch support, because it didn't concern you, or your pockets. Your current argument for altruism reeks of hypocrisy.
Sorry, nothing personal, just history, and fact.
