"You will destroy unity in BA!"
Didn't that start a long while ago when the old farts failed to stand up to the BA management's proposal to take on new pilots on a much reduced pension scheme and conditions?
BALPA really helped by supporting the old farts.
What a surprise.
I find it quite disingenuous for BA pilots to blame everything on easyJet and Ryanair when they didn't have the balls to stop what was, in essence, a "B" scale happening in their own company.
"Unity in BA?"
You must be bloody joking.
I don't think there is one single pilot currently serving in BA who, in the final analysis, is prepared to give up any of his existing conditions in order to support BMI joiners or the chaps in the famous swimming pool.
I would love to be proved wrong.
Anyway, this is turning out to be a pretty entertaining thread. I am glad that I have retired.
