Knowing GE personally (oh err vicar) I can honesty put my hand up and say that I have never met someone as commited or dedicated to flying (namely BA)
Lets not forget folks that some folk have BA as their ultimate goal for financial reasons (ie not everyone can afford to even think about self-sponsorship)
GE is a fantastic person, a good friend and I hope to god that I get the privilege to get to share a cockpit with him/her (thought I'd keep you guessing

)
So hows about a little less of the bickering folks? If the work is put in then we'll all get there sooner or later.
