"Have you heard this!":
Just to clarify - we DO have a Mainline base in MAN. You can't apply to join there - you have to transfer there from another Mainline/ex-British Airways Regional base. Resultantly, it's quite a senior base.
"Marlowe":
The PLH CitiExpress crew DID NOT transfer to LGW WorldWide. BACX don't have transfer agreements with BA, as I'm sure you well know. They were given interviews for LGW WW - but they were on their own from that point onwards. The "so called" BA people you mentioned are BA people - they aren't pretending Marlowe. And finally, can some of the BA subsiduary/franchise employees like yourself please lose that anti-BA Mainline/ex-British Airways Regional attitude? It's just so passe! But wait a minute - could it be a case of sour grapes I wonder? You know, I think it just might be!
