Cant wait when automation (aka toyota for the pilots, while pilots behave like overpaid Detroit car manufacturing workers) takes over. And these guys are doing everything in their power to make that happen and to incentivize the employers to do that...
Overpaid pilot demanding pay raise = deserved pay raise due to harder work
Overpaid company ceo getting pay raise = greedy ceo stealing money because he can get away with it.
I hope you see the double standard. If not, you are already lost...
Muppetry of the first order.
I take it you're ready to take you and your family on a pilot-less airliner across the world on holiday? Thought not. But hey, as long as you get your £9.99 flight to Alicante you're happy I guess. Moron!
Sounds like a Daily Mail journo to me. Don't feed the troll folks.

Speaking generically if someone has a Canadian rating and wishes to fly a UK airliner they cannot just do a type rating. To convert to a UK or EASA licence means a lot of exams and is a prolonged process.

I see the comms are starting to come in from the ‘big guns’.
The one being from AB asking if you could fill in a form to say if you are willing to fly on a strike day if rostered. Personally I think you’d be mad to fill out such a form. Your name will eventually be known. This is BA IT we’re talking about

Bully tactics
Good luck to the BA guys. I hope they do not give in to the bully Boys. They need a successful outcome. Otherwise without a change of management BA will disappear. The shareholders need a strong message. This management has to go and be replaced by somebody who wants BA to be successful British product.

Again, with no insider knowledge in Klaus’ case, I would suggest it would be difficult enough passing a BA conversion course while studying for it 100%, without having to worry about his other day job. I’ll cut the guy a bit of slack on that . Maybe it will give him an insight in the corners and costs being cut in BA in the various training departments. At least he is in a position to change things if he wanted.

OK......
Extract from the Email from AB.....
"Whether you are currently rostered to work or not over this period, I would be grateful if you would let me know your willingness to work by completing this simple confidential form before 0700 (local time) on Tuesday 3 September.:"
