Pontius,
Speaking as a Roman Dinosaur, I think your perspective is all wrong.
Our loads are back up, the figures are looking good, the institutions are buying the stock and there will soon be a massive pilot shortage.
The BA Airbus fleet will soon be VERY short of pilots.
So, again, your post does not gel with the current feeling in BA.
BA pilots standing up for themselves is between BA and BALPA, no-one else, no matter what anyone else thinks. Our management cannot be trusted with a 'concession' unless it applies to their own airline travel!
You all look after your jobs, we'll take care of ours. If you join us, then your opinion becomes more relevant!
