Good Luck! Let us all know when you come back to reality!!
I think that you,and your rust buckets, have spent too much time in the baking Arizona sun.
Meanwhile,back on Planet Earth...
...I feel sorry for the F/E's and the line crews because
a) It IS the end of an era.
b) They will have to cope with ENFORCED major lifestyle changes if they intend to stay with BA.
c) They were denied the chance to carry on operating the Big Bird albeit with VS by BA (mis) management's spoilt brattish, arrogant, "We can't make any money out of it,so no one else can either!" attitude.
Who chooses BA managers? They were given EVERYTHING when they were privatised so they should have made money from day1 but they've blown it all.
I even feel a little pity for Bannister himself.If he persists with his intensions and stands by his reasons,then he will have to live with being probably the most hated individual in aviation and in today's climate he's up against some pretty stiff competition for that title.
But I reserve most of my pity for the poor,green eyed Yanks who STILL haven't quite got over the fact that the Brits and the Frogs achieved something that they never could.
