Hudson,
The whole world really is against you mate....one wonders why...
Good luck fighting your corner.
With your attitude I'm sure the soldiers will be right behind you as you go over the top...

Hudson,
Can I suggest that you express your views on the company BALPA forum? Perhaps you feel that you need the cloak of anonymity when you point the finger at your work mates (if you're not a member then perhaps you suffer from short arm/deep pocket syndrome). There are no 'fossils' at baby. Perhaps your rantings will emerge in the crewroom and we'll be able to identify you then.

HUDSON BAY...
I sure would like to be around when you're 'colleagues' discover who you are.
You do EVERYONE in the company a huge disservice with your appalling 'I AM' attitude.
I can only think that PD was having a particularly bad day on the day in which you were employed.
Do the decent thing..either put up or shut up !

Inconsiderate bunch of BTSADRAS. I got in the house last night at 1am following 10 hours and 4 sectors. I then get woken up at 7am with a stupid text telling me about useless company information. I have already reported it to the CAA and if I do not get a day off in lieu I will take 5 off sick. Up to you Flybe. I am very angry. In fact I am sick for later on today. Find some other mug.

The guy's utterly mental as all it would have taken, is to turn off his mobile! Doh. Reported it to the CAA - yeah right.

Whilst I am generally in favour of LIFO it certainly does result in dead wood in the form of career FO's who are not up to a command (some of them by a very long way) and yet sit for years at the top of the list whilst far more capable people at the bottom get made redundant. They get the best pay, the best leave and job security as a reward for not being good enough to be a Captain, hardly seems fair does it?.

Max Angle,
You don't seem to work for baby by the look of it.
We don't really have career FOs and all of us get the same chance to bid for leave.
This is no BA with bidline!
LIFO is the FAIREST system there is. If there was anything fairer, we would all be working according to that!

No attitude. Just saying how it is. LIFO is History. The problem is with you. You don't like change. It really is that simple.
You remind me of the old age pensioners in Asda. They don't move out of the way either. What are they thinking? The same as you. That old chestnut of "I've been here longer than you". Seniority lists are dated and do not mean a thing. The more modern companies do not have them. Does that not say something to you?
I really really don't care if you have been with British Midland for 25 years. You are no better than anybody else. And guess what? The company doesn't care either. As far as the company is concerned everybody is of equal standing and those with a poor performance record will go. There is no debate on that score. The one and only argument is if the redundancies are carried out on a base by base basis or as a company as a whole.

Hudson...do you make your opinion very apparant at work?? I doubt it. I am quite sure that there are management pilots reading your posts with great discomfort. How could they have employed such a pleb??
You are saying that seniority lists are ageist but you quite clearly believe the "old crusties should go...is this not contraveving the age discrimination laws you so strongly believe in??
Obviously you have been flying this evening so I can guess who you are if I spared about 2 mins to look into it. Ex Flybe, 8ish months with Baby...although this may be a bit of a smoke screen.
I cannot say I wish that you are made redundant because I wish this on no one. I hope you are taking the piss with some of your comments and that maybe some day soon you will realise that this industry is bigger than you.
PS...do you sit about 19_ish on the list??
Good luck....

It sure ain't number one and be careful with number two...pretty sure it ain't them, either. (Wonder if crewing have any idea?)
He/she is either a total wind-up merchant, has a totally different agenda to the rest of us, or really is that one bad apple in the barrel.
Of all the crew that I've talked to, every one would accept LIFO as that is what was written into their 'legally binding' contract.
Can you imagine if every flight deck member thought in the same way as HUDSON BAY? Carnage or maybe that's what she/he really wants?
Hmmm

Having spoken to number 2 I can tell you he is all for LIFO so it ain't him. He has also never worked for Flybe or any other airline unlike Hudson Bay as you can see from Hudsons previous posts.
Lets be careful here as the finger has already been pointed at two guys who are innocent of posting such things on here. The last thing we all need is people being added to the 'hit list' based on the belief they are Hudson Bay!
