Tim - thanks for that. On first glance it does not look good but will read the PDF and comment more on the private forum. Am on the iPhone just now and can't look at it until Tuesday.
Doug - your constant appearances wherever I post to attack me are frankly increasingly amusing. It reminds me of Inspector Clueseau's sidekick, Kato, appearing out of fridges and from behind doors! Have all the insults you want -you need some arguments other than we are all ruined and I am to blame! What would Doug's world look like? EasyJet bankrupt so you could say you told us so? A year of strikes? Andy Harrison resigning along with the whole AMB? Presumably he would be replaced by Rupert the Bear or someone similar who just loves pilots and wants to give them loads of dosh. Tell me your plan - not what you would not do, but what you would actually do if it was all down to you. At the risk of repeating myself, I back BALPA 100% and if a strike comes I will be there long before you. Nonetheless, a strike is not an end in itself but a mechanism for achieving the company's ear. We seem to have that so what now Maestro?
