No one knows that for a fact yet. A third of the airline didn't even bid in the last JSS run and the parameters they're using are apparently changing every time. A good proportion of the people I fly with don't even understand how to bid properly. Surely it's little wonder some of the rosters aren't what they could/should be - even for those further up the list.

It's a shame to be losing bidline, but frankly if JSS can produce rosters any worse than those I've had as a P2 on the airbus this summer, I'll be quite impressed. I agree though, BA do need to be careful. If the seniority gradient really does go as vertical as it seems it may, not only will they lose their ability to attract people (arguably happening now anyway), they'll start bleeding pilots as well.
