Have to agree with you Ace. It is a pity, because although BACX was made up of small companies that appeared to be well run and at least reasonably happy. When BA combined them under their own management it has failed to produce the goods.
I would continue to question the quality of the original business plan and the ability of the management team to implement it.
As per the tail scrapes I have yet to find any organisation that has a monolpoly on the best pilots! Mainline standards are high and the training is very good but I think even an above the average pilot would find it hard to convert to the RJ and then be sent to the City. The question is are BACX using their resources sensibly? Why not give new crew a chance to gain experience before sending them into LCY?
It is a basic tenet of Health and Safety Law that Expediency should never take precedence over safety. Recent events suggest otherwise at BACX.
