I think there's always been a feeling a could be an "ego fleet" but I'm not so sure it's going to turn out that way, and at least one or two of the
very early/senior trainers are very grounded and popular blokes. There are also signs that as more pilots from a variety of backgrounds successfully bid to move onto the 380 in the very near future (i.e. in the next 6-18 months) there'll be a bit of dilution of any contrary elements, if such is needed.
Also, because of the large number of cabin crew, "a clear lead has to be set" by the commander. ..and other such "tosh"
Ah, interesting you picked up on that phrase. I'd suggest that given the context it's a fair comment that tells you far more about crew and interdepartmental politics at BA than it does about the personality of the author.
