BA has said its recruiting (Future Pilot Program etc) yet Iberia is sacking people. Would options for a transfer from one part of IAG to another not be possible? In the UK under TUPE, IAG would be expected to offer the pilots / other staff equivalent roles if they are available. Is this going to happen here? Could this be trouble for those people being recruited at the moment?
All of the BMI Baby (a company wholly owned by IAG) pilots got laid off, so the answer appears to be a very definite no.
