I resigned as a pilot from BA in 1979 - (actually a bad decision but that is another story) and I remember to this day the restrictive practices of the cabin crew then and how they used to screw the company every way they could. Finaly we have a CEO prepared to take them on. Good luck WW - it's about time. (and I wont be sorry about a few less people on the staff travel standby list for my next holiday)
