I have to agree wholeheartedly with the "pit bull". BA has ruined a great operation. Absolute mismanagement !!
Apart from the fact that the airline is basically a rudderless ship, and throw in the fact that being a pilot with BA is on a par with being a bus driver with BA - with bus drivers being paid more than some of the pilots - etc,etc, I have to say that BA is not my scene. I have worked for some really great companies over the years, and becoming part of BA was a real let-down.
Personally I'm putting my money where my mouth is and have resigned to go and work for an airline that seems to treat it's flight crew with respect and more to the point is actually going somewhere. As opposed to BA's shrinking.
I'm glad you're happy NW1, good luck to your future - and Lupin, whatever you decide to do good luck to you too. Just don't let the myth cloud the reality.
