Oh how lovely it must be to work for BA. Pilot group against pilot group against cabin crew against everyone else.

Face it guys. Gatwick is knackered. Easy are going to clean up on the European routes, BA will retrench and from then its a downward spiral. No airline ever survived by becoming smaller..

BA should have taken over CFE and handed over all routes to them OR kept Go and done the same.

BA will become a long haul airline with medium haul feeders in-house. All shorthaul is essentially screwed. All it would take is an agreement with Easy etc. to offer transfer of baggage and codeshare and Bingo.

You don't fly to CAP371, your aircraft do 8hrs a day no 13, you pay your cabin crew a fortune and your groundstaff are so protected by seniority and unions that they do very little for a small fortune with bad grace.

The flightdeck crew are great operators to a man.

Shame really. Glad I never accepted the offer.
