5 posts & 1st since 2009, were you turned down during selection then ? (poor love

I think this accusation could be applied to many pilots in many companies (both "flag carriers" & "others", hell, even some LCC pilots from what I hear on the radio ) however, I believe most BA colleagues, are just as aware as the rest of us, that they are no longer a "protected species", and are subject (via their anal HR Dept) to pretty much the same level of B.S. as the rest of us.
Ask the Capt of the B777 "glider" if you think they retain any misconceptions of their "place" in BA.
