.....'here here' ....
Well done Mr Goose ..... dead right! ... I bin writing my post threads a bit quickly and old Chesty got 'imself all worked up! .... I ain't gonna get personal with him .. in fact I have been there for a LONG time (longer than him) but can't give away the real years etc as don't want to be found out (my right!?!) ....
It is NOT the worst airline in the world .... I started with its baby Spacegrand - then - Jersey European (after a short break away) ...... and in those days was great! Last couple years since BA managers been taking the managerial reins, we have had more and more rules and regs etc (in conjunction with the new type aircraft) that have COMPLETELY taken the 'fun' out of a good safe day out at work ..... coupled with their love of disciplinaries and trying to make examples of fellow pilots for MOSTLY ridiculous allegations etc etc ('Yes I know, Mr Morgan that in the odd case they are right') - but I know several pilots who have had the proverbial s*it thrown at them for virtually nothing (I have seen the paperwork) ... and have been eventually back to work with a few years less life in them due stress etc ...... and those sentiments have been voiced by BALPA reps etc.
To the wannabees ... I say 'Good Luck' to you guys and gals and I do wish you the best ...... but if Flybe goes down the 'pan' in the not-too-distant-future, as their problems with crews continue to get worse (BA lot mostly tryin' to jump out of the ship they believe is gonna sink) ... then you might find it that much harder to join the back of a VERY long queue!!
PS ..... As I am not far off retirement, I am not really bothered for myself (quite well off financially thank you)- and I am certainly not throwin' my toys out my pram ...... and Mr Morgan ..... 'Mummy' wont be putting me to bed tonight ........ because she died some time ago!
We are all entitled to our opinions - and they should be repected - but the writing is on the wall for us ..... and that comes from virtually all the many BA pilots I have got to know and also from many of 'ours' ...... unless a big white rabbit can be pulled out the hat!
Bon Voyage
