3 and 4 have been suggested many times and raised to MPs as a reasonable solution.
BALPA are the only engaged union so CC unions not in place to drive through this an option.
There appears no appetite for this at all as a solution for pilots. Reason......it does not come close to satisfying BA management’s true objectives.....to rid them of PP24 and smash terms to the floor for ever.
