Wlado,
Couldn't agree more. Don't forget however that BA does owe a lot of pilots a living. [I'm pretty sure that's right - so many folks seem to think so, it must be true]. Don't forget that it's also a miserable crappy job that nobody realy wants to do. BA obviously have to hold guns to many pilots heads just to get them to stay.
And 'B Calm', you may notice, if you paid attention to what's going on around you, that DEPs earn "some disparity" of nearly £11,000 compared with their CEP counterparts. (Greater if you include the CEPs £250pcm payback). If anyone wants my third strip, it's yours for the aforementiond £11,000.
See ya.
PS Lord Flasheart - please tell me your out there and about to join in.
