I agree 100% with zeddb. 4468 is your typical pompous BA idiot. Best thing I ever did was cancel my BAPLA subscription. As Zeddb and as I told BALPA, anything that involves them confronting BA they totally shied away from.
Secondees were a great bunch of guys but the whole idea was criminal. They stinted career growth of all the GSS pilots and now go skipping off back to the right hand seat in BA and what have they proved or gained? Nothing. They only left a bunch of guys screwed in the wake of their little ego trip.
4468, DHL gets staff travel. So much for your "you have to be BA staff" theory.
And no, I have never applied to fly for BA.Despite the few gripes that I have mentioned, GSS was a great place to work, no Bitchyness or colleagues trying to poison me either (like a BA pilot was saying happened to him). I had no reason to leave.
