Capt. Pit Bill:
every time anyone suggests that not everythign is 100% perfect at BA there is somebody like you who has to pipe up and try and imply that we are somehow maladjusted to hold that viewpoint
I did no such thing. Take a slightly more dispassionate look at my post, particularly where I wrote:
Obviously this is subjective, and I am quite prepared to accept that you'd rather not fly for BA given the choice
I am quite happy with the concept that my exerience and opinion is 180 degrees removed from yours and that neither is right or wrong - but I felt it important to express it nevertheless. I make no apologies for that, and moreover I do not imply any character defect in those who don't agree. Even paranoia.
Since you seem intent on recieving a piece of my mind, here you go:
No, I was just putting my own opinion forward, do you have a problem with that?.
The point of that para of my post was to establish how I came to be in a position to have an opinion about BA, not to say that BA are poor because of that situation.
Well, that's why I asked for clarification. You confirmed that your low opinion of BA was
because of their takeover of your company, not because of your experiences since that event. Perhaps you meant otherwise?
However, as it has come up, the whole takeover and so called integration stinks of the mismanagement that typifies why BA is such a depressing company to work for.
All I am saying is that I have worked for BA for a decade and a half and am not depressed - far from it - I consider myself lucky to be where I am. If BA is the party which is so mismanaged, then how come your employer was taken over? That is only my opinion, it may be opposite to yours but that is no reason to reach for the "toys out of the pram" checklist.
BTW, I'm quite content to FLY for BA, its the rest of the work environment that is depressing.
All I'm saying, is that I find completely otherwise. Simple as that. And I would recommend BA to Lupin without a second thought. Sorry if you don't agree - but I don't accuse you of any character defect for not doing so. Its just my own opinion borne from experience - that's all. I respect your opinion; please respect mine.
