CC has it bang on with his excellent posts.
In terms of the people you get to go work with, I'd say this company is hard to beat. But that's partly due now to the fact that everytime I jump into my seat on the flightdeck me and the other guy or gal talk about nothing but the cretins at the top and now middle of this company and how they have systematically and knowingly destroyed the spirit and resolve of it's most valuable assets. That's above FL 150 of course - I wouldn't want anyone to think I'm none standard and call me to Exeter for a school boy bollocking.
I have not met one colleague on the flight deck in my base who isn't going to vote for strike action and actually do it. I really hope it's the same everywhere else.
The management are complete idiots and they have failed in their duty to this company and it's staff. And by god, they are going to get what's coming to them now - off their pilots and then the shareholders. Bye bye Jim. You had your chance, and you've buggered it big time mate.
