As 3greens isn't a retiree it's hard to blame his type for your troubles. The question remains, what did
you do to fight this imposition by your management? If the answer is sweet FA then it would be pretty feeble to wish hardship on others who have the balls and the organisation to resist the kind of management shafting you didn't. Sadly for some people 'sharing the misery' is a mantra.

GOs business plan was complementary to mainlines in that at the outset it exclusively targeted a market segment mainline did not want. When GO started to target premium travellers it was no longer considered a complementary business to mainline and was sold. Open Skies is exclusively targetting premium transatlantic business travellers, the core market of BA mainline, from the outset. That's the difference.
