All this talk about redundancies is tosh. No redundancies were ever needed. The whole thing was a farce. You can bang on about this all day long but the fact is, 249 junior (non 787/350/ex cityflyer/destined for 787 but currently without course date....) members were let down by the BACC in their hour of need. They orchestrated a plan to save their own bacon. What they should have been focusing on was solidarity and coming up with a plan to save their most vulnerable.
The BACC did try and save everyone. And every BA pilot I spoke to would have happily paid more to save everyone. You need to vent your anger at BA. BA seemed to want forced redundancies for reasons I will never understand.
Many in BA would argue that you are the entitled one, wanting a direct spot on a nice new 787 rather than “doing your time” on the 320 fleet like those who have given years of service to BA already.
