It's not just MacAuslan, it's the BA Pilots attitude.
This was doomed to failure from day one, if only on the grounds of deepest pockets. Aside from the fact that it was quite clear this was never going to be a winner on logical or legal grounds, what I found offensive was the arrogance, the pomposity, the "I'm all right Jack - oh, and please go to the barricades to help me out or you're a scab" attitude which meant that I had to give up a promotion, a future and a pay rise to support those who were already at the top of the tree.
YEAH - RIGHT!
