Oh Dear Doug - you must have selected the hamper rather than the champagne and it has brought you out all of a tizzy. As you might expect on such an informed website as this, FBOZH has made statements that are straight from Alice in Wonderland, only less believable. It is utter cobblers to say that 'BALPA has been working hand in hand with the company in bringing down pilot T+Cs'. Nonetheless, to even make a statement like that enables the more informed among us to make a better judgement on the relative merits of the arguments. Am a bit busy right now but if I have some spare time in the next few days, I will glad to debate the issues.
