Agreed M.Mouse, this is not just a loss for BA pilots it is a loss for all UK pilots, however dont give up!
As i said before turn this disadvantage into an advantage, unite with the OS CC and be strong, divided and you will fall.
To all those who are gloating at this outcome and feel that the BA boys got their deserves...think again. BALPA has been discredited by this loss to which all management of BALPA recognised companies will be rubbing their hands in glee. BALPA will need to look at what happened here and learn for the future...maybe some heads need to roll.
