support the pilots of the company that ended my career?
That single phrase says everything.
How on earth can you justify that? How exactly did 'the company' (BA or IAG?) end your career? By choosing to shop somewhere else??? What have YOUR company done to help/hinder you?
As a previous poster said, "fill your boots if it makes you feel happy"! Or as I said, "knock yourselves out"!
Just be aware you're talking complete b0ll@cks!
