"...you BA boys are so inflated with your own self importance that you genuinely believe that if you repeat the self justifying drivel about the benefits of Scope to BACX etc often enough then we will believe it."
Not at all. I don't pretend that Scope is good for you guys in the slightest, but I'm not interested in your career. You have your CC to fight for you, and good luck. Our CC fights for US, OUR jobs and our T and Cs. Sorry to be harsh, but I'm not giving up benefits so Firemen, Burger flippers, Doctors or Solicitors can live a better life. Why should we give up benefits so you can have a better time? You're not BA. You may think you are 'cos you 'wear the clothes', but you're not. We don't give up things for Ryanair or EasyJet - so why you?
