Just a quick correction to sdac, BA didn't keep ALL the 737 crews. They kept 61 Captains and 59 First Officers ( if my memory serves me correctly ) who happened to be based at LGW and were flying the 300 and 400. All the 200 guys went even some very senior ones including some also rated on the 400. All the Newcastle and Manchester( 400 and 200 respectively )guys also lost their jobs. The very last on the seniority list kept a job. Not their fault but the point is that management think they can get away with anything they want in this kind of situation. It took a lot of effort by some very dedicated people to get some kind of recompense, I would rather have had a job!!My best wishes to all my woolly pully friends.
