Its not fair to say that bmi old crew dislike change. Out of any other airline I reckon bmi staff go through the most changes as bmi are known to chop and change things so often, but you never hear about their crew calling in the union and resisting any changes.
What makes you suggest that, is there anything bmi have ask their crew to change and they haven't?
I respect your view but I'm also trying to understand how you have come to your conclusion.
