Irrespective of seniority, any ex-bmi pilot that gains a LHR short haul command is forced to remain in the bubble.
Wrong!!
Nobody in BA is
forced to do anything. We all have choices, and can express our preferences every year. Those choices range from A320 at LHR or LGW. (Including mid-haul A321 from LHR!) B767, B747, B777, B787, A380, and soon A350.
ALL of those fleets are available to everyone.
In fact, this year, anyone could have bid out of the bubble
AND retained their Heathrow A320 command!!!!
As I've already said, it's not easy to imagine an airline with better lifestyle choices than BA!
But hey. Try Easy. Come back in a year and let us know how it's turned out.
