Yep,I read the whole article K and I dont doubt a word of it.Kudos to the one pilot who did come out and expose.
Like I said I totally support the boycott of BA by Nigerians and i'm glad its not just all talk, that there is now action behind it.

It's painful but not surprising to hear about that culture at BA but I think this thing is across the board in the UK not just this airline.

And it is still hard for me to write BA off because i've had so many pleasant experiences with them,one of which was a conversation with a pilot which i'll tell you about now.
This was pre-9/11 coz sadly this experience cant happen for peeps anymore,anyway this was around 98/99 on my way to New York again anyway it used to be quite a common experience on BA at least that if you wanted to have a look at the cockpit or have a word with the pilot one of the cabin crew would escort you there at some point during the flight and me being both and aerophile and aerophobe at the same time always used to jump at the opportunity.

So there I was in the cockpit,I chatted with the pilot and co pilot for maybe 10-15mins ,the main pilot was a nice guy,white of course about 50 something,who also used to pliot Concorde and he was telling me all about that and how you could see the curvature of the earth because of the height they flew at etc,etc and lots of really interesting things in general,they couldnt have been more pleasant,it didnt seem fake or forced,it was me who wrapped up the conversation and said id better leave now..or i'm sure I could have waffled on for longer.

Who knows maybe they called me all kinds of things once I got back to my seat,nothing would surprise me anymore,all I know is this is one of my highlights of flying with BA,the staff from the ground up have consistently been pleasant and polite to me(unlike Virgin)which is why i've stayed loyal,I told you how they treated me when my Mum passed,also i've been ill a couple of times on flights and they've gone above and beyond sometimes to make me comfortable...so it really does pain me to hear this about my favourite airline.

We know there is institutional racism in the police force,so does that mean now that should I be the victim or witness a crime,not to bother caling the police??(I know some would say yes)

But like I said before maybe one day something will happen to me at he hands of BA then i'll come bitching,I hope not,and I hope BA ****ing fix-up coz i'm not pleased about what im reading.
