Pontius I've posted a reply to your concerns on a different thread, but to assuage your fears JF has no intention whatsoever of electing a BA line pilot or any BA representative to the position of GS. His sole aim is to buy us all time to find a better GS buy using professional recruitment specialists to find the best man for the job, instead of just the previous man for the job. CD gets over £100000 of our money each year and we should all expect more from our GS than just taking the credit for changes in union recognition legislation. As an association member I want him to spell out exactly what he stands for, a small chore that CD thought he could overlook until a challenger was found. There is no BritishAirways Line Pilots Association these days, if anything MGs letter showed exactly the opposite - that BALPA leadership will stoop to any depth to sideline the concerns of the BA contingent.
