BA Restructuring Plans
Was in the coffee shop in Waterworld on Friday with two female companions who decided that they would speak in French for 15 minutes to tune up their ears before going on holiday. The only free seats were next to two men who stopped talking when we sat down. They must have decided that we were all French, assuming that I could not get a word in, and continued their conversation. This is what I believe BA is planning.
All LH flying to be done by mainline pilots.
All SH flying to be reorganised with SH pilots maintaining their current seats*.
*All SH captains above pay point 16 required to bid for LH.
Any LH captains displaced required to bid for SH to maintain capt pay or change seats but on FO pay.
LHR and LGW work to be 'combined'.
All SH eastern European work to be transferred to BMed - see note 1.
All remaining European work to be transferred to GB Airways - see note 1..
All domestic work to be done by BACX - see note 1.
Note 1.
SH BA pilots to remain in their seats with their BA pay - capped at pp16 but to be scheduled iaw the respective airline's sched rules and with their allowance system.
Note 2. Commands currently held by BMed/GB/BACX pilots to be reserved exclusively for those pilots - the remainder (and any growth) to be made available to BA pilots.
