SR71
to whom do you refer when you say it is not about BA/BMI
The thread IS, BA/BMI
The only people to lose or gain in this is BA/BMI, and whilst it is nice to consider the global view, the only people affected in this will be BA/BMI pilots for the life of their careers,
I would gamble on less than 20 pilots leaving BA by choice unless for illhealth/retirement in the nxt 5/10 years, so it very much is an inside view people are taking.
