The fact that Balpa tried their best to uphold contractual terms should not have come as a shock to you. What I was referring to was something quite different. I also clearly want to see everybody from the PRP and PHP back in a seat as soon as possible however they should not be leapfrogging the career aspirations of those senior internal bidders with valid bids. If these people are allowed to move as they should then vacancies will be created as part of that process, pilots remaining on the P32L status list will benefit from increasing relative seniority instead of stagnating and opportunities will still exist to bring the PRP & PHP pilots rightfully back into the fold.
MOA isn’t available with the contract FYI. I was only able to view it after joining, on docunet. Regardless I didn’t read anywhere being on a plastic plane makes you invulnerable from redundancy either…
If you’re on the 787 it seems a bit of a cheek to quote the MOA to your colleagues that were made redundant.
