That is your prerogative and who am I to change that? My point is that what are you trying to achieve by your debate? Does it matter to you whether BA are successful in their restructuring programme?

At the end of the day, they are a service provider to the travelling public, nothing more. That is the same with Unite for me. If you have invested, then OK, but as a former employee, BA have my money too.

As you travel in First, then we probably will not play at the same golf course, so we are fundamentally different people. There will always be at least one cabin between me and you, if we fly together.

Reading what the CBI have stated today, will probably please you and definitely concern me. I am no flag waiving socialist, but I am not rich enough to not be concerned with developments in employment law. This dispute will be a game changer and I am on the wrong side of the mahogany desk.

Still, I do enjoy listening to opposite opinions and I am only too willing to learn.
