BMR,
Wonker has penned himself as a 744 pilot, Cabin crew and now a manager.
Perhaps a tomato gardener who failed to get into Hamble?
He is drumming up all the arguments from BA vs BASSA, a conflict which he assured the Pprune community was sign sealed and delivered to BASSA on a plate, that should give you an idea to how much credence many put on his 'ideas'.
After that defeat he has peddled every bit of anti pilot rhetoric he can drag up on these forums and given us more doom scenarios than Hollywood in 2012.
Change is ALWAYS apparent in business, a business that stagnates is a dead business. As flight crew however we are well aware of the need to change and subsequently our conditions are significantly different to 10 or even 15 years ago and sufficiently in line with comparable carriers.
There are far wider ranging issues with respect to FTL's than WW narrow mind can comprehend. The cost of change might well outweigh the cost savings involved especially when it comes to Safety, insurance and global brand positioning.
Interesting that WW picks on extended 2 man operations, they are the ones under the most scrutiny due to their fatiguing effects.
Nice try Wonker, pull the other one, it's got bells on.
