Ha, sorry, I’ll try and rephrase.
balpa was told by BA about the plans for newco before any CR had been made. Ie they were told that contrary to the rhetoric BA was putting out, they did in fact see a fairly immediate need for pilots at gatwick. To then allow CR, knowing full well those pilots would be needed, when other zero cost measures were available for the interim period, is shambolic in my opinion and amounts to fire and rehire. In my opinion, by doing so, they essentially did say to BA “yeah go on then, sack the junior lot, save the 747 lot and make a worse contract at gatwick in less than a years time”
