But BAWC had the option to purchase/dry lease their own freighters and didn't, instead choosing to wet lease from Atlas initially until BALPA/IPA intervened and GSS was formed. It appears BA pilots (such as 4468) blame GSS for the loss of this flying when maybe their own management were to blame?
Maybe 4468 has been quite 'vocal'. However, the decision to 'out-source' the BAWC contract was made by people at Alan Sugaaaar level. Pay non-mainline rates for the cargo contract. Must've been a no-brainer at the time.
I'll bow out now as I'm on my last trip and time is precious.
Good luck to all.
