Good point; and is such a new agreement in place, or is that another post-Brexit disaster waiting in the wings to happen.
BALPA? BA just ripped up the old contracts and put everyone into one fleet based on Mixed Fleet. They're paid a benchmarked market rate, the generous old contracts are gone.

As for operating UK-US, fair play, but they'll be openinf new routes with zero market share which given where are is brave. I bet the airports will through money at them though, any port in a storm. I suspect United might walk away from GLA, but the US carriers are way more likely to fight it out at EDI.
