I don't think anyone in BACX is saying that we are paid peanuts and proud of it, or at least they shouldn't.
Quite a few people on this thread are talking about divide and conquer. Surely the non-involvement by BA BALPA with BACX BALPA in scope discussions is fuelling this problem. It won't go away either. What of any future regional aircraft? The Embraer 170/190 will go from 70 seats up to 110+. This lack of communication between the two pilot groups plays into BA management's hands and helps neither group.
