Mini mums,
I think it can be said that the vast majority of your professional pilots are honest hardworking chaps/chapesses and have their hearts in the right place.
However there still exists a hard core in BA who think they are God's gift to aviation and women. You also get the ambitious b******s who choose to be a union official and use this as a stepping stone into management.
I speak now from personal experience, and I don't mean as one of those b******s, and have seen the pilot work force sold down the river so that a certain "gentleman" could further his management career.
For the terminally curious he retired some years ago, never to be seen again.
