Oh God! Hope we're not rolling back the advances in CRM over the last decade or so..! :-)
(Just to lighten the mood a bit.)
Thats almost like the other day I was told by a Captain: 'Old boy do you know what the speed brake lever is called when you operate it? The lever of shame! Do you know what its called when I use it? The precision lever!!' ;-p
But on a serious note, I don't discuss such things on the FD anymore. Can cause heated debates - believe me I have had a couple of experiences (and I'm a reasonable guy ;-D). Rather not go there anymore.
Of course if all these revisions in recruitment numbers by BA is a smoke screen then even better, gives us a fighting chance. But I genuinely believe aviation in Britain is being choked off.
Nevertheless, good luck all..!
