... No really...

Give BACityflyer or even flybe the UK domestic routes - Please...

BA Mainline are a bunch of whinging, pampered and overpaid ...

1. BACityflyer are flying 'BA Liveried' aircraft, offering the 'BA product', with staff in 'BA uniforms'. FINE. However BA dont want to pay Cityflyer crew / staff mainline money, or have them 'involved' in the BA Mainline seniority machine... PATHETIC.

2. BACityflyer work hard, and put up with a sh1t load of issues regarding (as per above) and aircraft reliability.

3. Maybe if BA took a good hard look at the Cityflyer operation, and the amount of money it generates, it would realise that for a small operation it brings in the cash and then some and deserves to be treated accordingly, with resources (aircraft), and infrastructure that are fit for the job.

A fleet upgrade announcement is due soon - one wonders what BA have up their sleeve... Dash8-400s or EMB190s or even the A318!

The phrase that doesnt pay... ''Scope-clause'' Tailored to suit BA Mainline whenever they see fit...

Hats off to the guys and girls at Cityflyer and the work they put in
