To the hold poolers and future joiners: consider this an early heads up for your future career in BA. It will be constant change. Please don't join and then start complaining about your T&Cs being chipped away.
There are 3000 odd pilots ahead of you that have been dealing with the degradation in earnings and lifestyle for many years. How do you think it comes across when outsiders that don't work for the company start complaining about how the rest of us are taking a hit in earnings and time off?
Sorry to be brutal, but I reckon BA/BALPA have done you a big favour showing you your future career prospects before you have even joined. Now you have a choice.
