Yes it does say it all...
scraping the bottom of the barrel cos I honestly think their hands are tied for other reasons!
BACX have put forward around 200 candidates, of which I believe only 12 have been deemed suitable. No sour grapes on my part, but do you really think that that would be an HONEST reflection on the ability of BACX crews, bearing in mind that BA mainline flight ops have been auditing BRAL/Brymon training standards for 7 years now? If our crews actually were so poor, why have we not lost our franchise... indeed why did BA buy us out?
political correctness or political reasoning?
Can't wait to hear passenger's response when they hear "you are being flown in BA coloured aircraft by pilots not deemed worthy of joining real BA"!!!
I keep coming back to one particular quote during BALPA discussions over merger... "Over my dead body" will BACX crews join BA. I'll let you fill in the blanks.
