Well I'm afraid guy's I'm not convinced.
Coming back to a question I posed a couple of days ago - why is OS any different to GO?
Ans: -
1, GO provided a nice little job for retiring 55 years olds
2, GO didn't fly and n'stop anywhere nice like NY
Rather than a great moral crusade to defend the T's and C's of our industry this IMO is all motivated by self interest of a blinkered group of pilots who already have good jobs and want to ensure that they maintain themselves ahead of others.
As for talk about 'scabs' etc I thought I'd left all that behind in the playground 30 plus ago.
If BAPLA and BA pilots really want to improve T's and C's industry wide then a good start would be RYR, Jet 2, Globespan and others flying around with below par pay, meaningless pensions and nothing to eat - compare that with your 2 man b2b JFK - God give me strength
