It’s the easiest way to keep it all legal and I was at the wrong end of it in the past. I’m not saying that this is how it’s necessarily going to play out but this is the methodology that BA
want to use. It’s now down to Balpa to see if they can reduce the numbers involved or change that methodology but with the retraining bill for LIFO from
the MSL running into many millions it’s difficult to see how they’d get BA to budge on this.
Good points Rex.
There are 100 Senior Capts in top 300 on 744 and 380 and may be within preretirement freeze.
If 744 and 380 do not return in large numbers what will they choose to do?
