The news does look promising, but I think there may be trouble ahead, as the Pilots were unhappy with thier pay before sept11, and it has not gone up since then!
All of the Yank airlines paid off thier pilots in a big way at the beggining of last year and I'm sure the BA fly boys were hoping for the same. If they start making extravegant pay claims, without helping to reduce costs, it may get turbulent
Better fasten that seatbelt!
