As a BA frequent flyer I have no objection to four ring ex-service pilots - I do have an objection to you though. BA is not the national carrier any more, and thus owes ex-service personnel the same as pilots transferring from any other carrier besides HM Flying Club.
If such privilege led to higher fares or disruption due strikes from the p!ssed off non-ex-service pilots, I and others would be forced to take our business elsewhere, and Rod E doesn't need help doing that!
