Whilst in full agreement with the sentiment expressed in the 1st post, I am sure I am not alone in being frustrated that him & his fellow BA employees couldn't see it that way 5 , or even 10 years ago & have BALPA act collectively to press for legislation to stop it in its tracks. Jeezuz, they even carried (or perhaps still do carry ? ) ads in the Log for this Cancer. Surely legislation could have been enacted that required any professional training be provided, and I mean PROVIDED. . . by the employer, was it really that difficult ? I think not, but no doubt those in the CAA who could have forced the issue were "persuaded" that P2F was a satisfactory way to crew the right hand seat of apublic transport aircraft.
Brown envelopes again folks
