Quote: Hows morale in BA
As thats quite a bit off topic for this thread I'll attempt to keep it short.
Assuming you are referring only to the pilots its a tricky question to answer. There are about 3300 (give or take a hundred) so there are very few things which have anything close to a universal concensus. The guys and gals I fly with seem in good spirits but yes there's significant dismay that for a long time now the only news reports re BA have focussed on the cc dispute and monetary loss - not the relief flights to Haiti, the LCY JFK route which is doing better than expected, the new first class product (granted this is not really news), the ever so slight up-turn in business travel, the positive impact the cost cutting measures have had on the company balance sheet etc etc.
Hows morale? Mediocre to good (IMHO)
With the cc dispute an ongoing issue there will doubtless be another round of negative news with BA as the bogeyman in the middle, but one thing I think a lot of 'Nigels' feel is that WW will chart a course through this -how many reefs are struck along the way and what shape the ship will be in when we emerge is another tricky question to answer.
Take care all.
