Good luck to the CC.

I accept that no longer being part of BA, I don't know all the details of this one. There's been the usual politicking from both sides, the usual crass emotional references to the cost to individual...

Hypocrisy on all sides

I've formerly posted pretty much in support of the CC, but the total amount of hypocrisy on all sides now makes me just support those who wish to continue in employment. I'd love to hear what...

What I find sad is the overall disunity.

Thumbs down Former member - Cancelled out of touch / not effective

Ridiculously expensive, achieved very little tangible or worthwhile whilst with BM, and then BALPA refused to assist and were hugely unhelpful during the whole BA / BACX farrago.:rolleyes:

Precisely.
When do you expect anyone to strike? When it least affects your opposition? Arthur S tried that ;) A strike is a negotiating tool like anything else - it doesn't seem to work very well on...

Call 100 has it right. Perhaps you should all stop and consider WW's reputation. If he wins this one, none of you are ever going to be vaguely safe again. It is incredibly arrogant to assume that the...

CHALLENGING.

Yes it's challenging. The main reason it's challenging is that the RJ100 or BAe146-300 is just so much longer than the original concept build, which was the 146-100 or RJ75. If the...

Projecting Power

My career within the Fleet Air Arm involved Wessex Vs, which was great fun, and I wouldn't have missed it. The reason I never even got the opportunity to try and fly jets was thanks to a combination...

May I second that.
I've flown with you, and you have a great product, exceptional cabin crew and a really really good service.
Unbeatable for the money, you deserve to succeed.
