BALPA will be spread thin on the ground, but initial "suggestions" are that BA will opt to pay the minimum statutory requirements according to the T+Cs i.e UK Mins plus statutory notice pay. Approx 25% of the pilots may be culled due to over volume and the restructuring and no option for internal job transfers. Interesting some pilots may be made redundant due to proposed "efficiency" improvements.. Now,,does that mean they are "inefficient now" or that they were never needed or that their colleagues will work so hard they will not be needed, or that the route changes and rotations will basically mean they are surplus? It appears to be a "consulted" assault on Terms and Conditions with performance goals implied. Of course one feels very sorry for the colleagues involved in this process, friends and families will be effected and BA is only trying to "survive" for the future. perhaps more Cargo ops on the cards as per Virgin. One wonders if part of the BA reaction is due to the IATA forecasts and generally the sector talking down the recovery. As it is predicted NAS will cease LH ops from UK there may be some slack there, but again the question "who wants to travel in these times" . Companies like BA burn funds at eye watering rates and even a public offering would only stick a plaster on the wound. Lets hope the selection process is fair, although any restructuring models based around capacity will ultimately effect fleet types and not service with the company.
