Just want to clarify "Balpa and management achieving a practical solution."
I am refering to achieving an arrangement that allows some of us to stay at BHX or MAN.
I am not reffering to the decision to effectively close the base's. Considering that BAR pilots delivered a 10% overall improvement in effciency a few years ago on the basis that mainline flying in the regions would be secured it is a very very sore point whats happened; and a reminder to everyone in every company that nothing is safe.
"If you work and do your best you'll get stitched up like all the rest!!!!!"
So before having a bash at BA pilots staying in the regions just view the big picture and remember that there are a lot of very unhappy pilots leaving for LHR.
Airrage makes a very good point. For those that still do not understand just consider; If Beckham, owen etc had their pay cut to £10000 per week, and had to play 100 matches per year, how do you think things would change for those in the other divisions?????????????
