You asked a question and I gave a straight answer. As for crews joking about wearing hats on the crew bus etc you are right it shows a complete lack of empathy and regard for other peoples positions. Seniority discussions are relevant but again showing a bit of sensitivity and not discussing this in public would be very welcome to me as well! If people are doing that you should say something as it may help focus the mind of others. The tread topic though is bmi mainline pilots made redundant and some are in a even more time critical position than maybe yourself.
