I didn't say I didn't appreciate what I have and for what it is worth I am against pursuing an unrealistic pay claim given the state of the airline at the moment but there are very, very many pilots within BA - EOG, cadets, etc. - far more disillusioned, angry and militant than I.
Appalling waste and mis-management in the company has been prevalent for years and is now crippling us.
In real terms we have been slowly slipping behind on the pay front, working a good deal harder than ever before and in fact many in the company cannot legally work any harder.
Pilots in BA have been left behind when it comes to even keeping pace with the cost of living, in reality we have fallen way behind.
For reasons stated previously I believe it is in everybody's interest that we are paid appropriately.
If you and your colleagues rock the BA boat much harder, it won't be long before you, and all the people who depend on BA are swimming.
Agreed.
