"destroy the reason for handing so much regional flying to CX in the first place!"
BA has now achieved a 'low wage' work force in the regions, flying the same operation as it's mainline (high wage?) crews were 2 years ago.
Presumably you would agree, that was the Group's entire motivation?
Never mind that BAR was making a profit, and BACX, currently at least, is not!
Management is therefore likely to fight tooth and nail, to prevent any merging of seniority/T&Cs etc, since that would....
"destroy the reason for handing so much regional flying to CX in the first place!"
Agreed?
I should say that I am deeply impressed by your altruism...
"For that reason I choose (chose?) not to exercise my "grandfather rights" and stay because in my view the deal was quite unfair to others and would make for enormous difficulties in running the operation."
You say you have been 'directed' out of the regions twice in the last 7 years! Whilst technically feasible, you did of course, on BOTH occasions have the option to stay!
Sorry all, if I have strayed too far from the thread, which is of course BACX, but BP seemed to want an answer!
