Firstly :
The way that BA is treating their FE's is contemptable.
The days of Concorde operations are indeed drawing to a close and it is unfortunate that BA are showing such a lack of respect and empathy for their FE's ; many who have given their entire working life to the company.
The FE's have my fullest support. It seems these days, that the only way to get the message across to the suits in Waterside is to strike. Very sad indeed.
Secondly :
It is so unfortunate that Bannister is allowed to skim all the cream off the top of the flying programme. Why do the rest of you put up with this puffed up, egotistical a****le?
If you look at the majority of publicity shots of Concorde, you would think that Bannister was the only pilot on the fleet!
I hope that the retirement of Concorde goes well. It has served BA well and has reserved its place in the aviation history books.
I just hope that BA wake up and smell the roses and give their FE's a decent severance while sharing the final few flights fairly between the line jocks ( not the management ) who, after all, have been doing the majority of the flights since 21st January 1976.
