I've certainly enjoyed biteme's postings - especially his very telling "what would you do?" comment. It is obviously painful to realise that you've backed the wrong horse.
I haven't agreed with the way that BA/Flt Ops/IFCE has been heading over the last few years - especially the undermining of the captain's authority. Biteme may have saved BA some money over the years but I have witnessed BASSA costing BA a small fortune! The company is now trying to restore the balance of power and some of the "captains of the cabin" don't like it. They have become used to a privileged and entitled existance and are now shocked to see that they are easily replaced by new CSMs on less than half the money. Surely some mature negotiating rather than a blanket "no" from BASSA could have eased the pain?
