I could easily believe that O'Leary was saving money by using pilots 'based' in eg Poland, being paid Polish salaries rather than British rates. That would certainly be a cause of friction with Balpa. -- Graeme Wall This address not read, substitute trains for rail Transport Miscellany at www.greywall.demon.co.uk/rail |
