Just a minor correction. BAWC is a costumer of DHL Express, not DHL Air UK. The BA charters (which is what they are, no more and no less) will be undertaken both by EAT and DHK. DHK is one of a number of airlines owned by DHL, it is not an entity engaged in chartering out spare capacity. In fact, DHK does not to my knowledge have a sales department at all. They are just there to drive their share of the 75s, nothing else, despite what certain individuals over at DHK might think ....
Now if any department should claim ownership for the contract, it would be Aviation Commercial Group, based in BRU, but that's a technicality.
Sick,
Look at it this way. An airline is short of capacity, and asks BA if they would like to charter them some aeroplanes. Let's call the costumer "Short Of Metal Airlines". What you are proposing is that BA would happily turn over their shiny aeroplanes to "Short Of Metal Airlines" because their pilot union would take offence at having Nigels at the helm? I think not .....
