Oh my word!
Hmmm. Well I'm not a BA employee, I got the info from a senior selection person at BA, I fly A330's, I am not a spotter, and I can certainly be stupid but not malicious.
Sorry to have ruffled feathers but this is a rumour network, and it is for pilots. I wonder if my detractors actually qualify?
(Incidentally I use the term "base" to describe an airport into which BA currently operate, which is not strictly correct. The point I was making is that BA have been contracting in the UK geographically over many years.) Happy now, pilots Skipness and Glamgirl?
