Pleased to hear it, arkroyal. What this thread shows is that pilots are highly skilled at analysing the detail of a complex issue...but sometimes lamentably poor at doing anything about it! Lets not allow this to be such a case.
Perhaps we could take a leaf from Captain Pratt, BA who has suggested in the balpa mag, a boycott of the scheme. Hear hear! And I'd be delighted to hear some practical suggestions on how we could put this into effect.
