Tandem,
I've been reading your contributions for years now, and what has become abundantly apparent is that you labour under one (false) premise only, that is: BA pilots are owed a job for life.
BACX' business plan, good or bad, represents that company's existing economic reality. You don't have any right to be exempt from its consequences. OK, you were in the regions with BAR, and you wanted to stay in BHX, fine. Now if your aircraft or region disappears, what gives you the right to claim a stake in another region (in which you have no ties), especially since you could move back to mainline?
You want two options left open to you and, in the process, are quite happy to remove all options from your colleagues at BACX.
Tell me, who told you you couldn't ever be made redundant?
BA? I doubt it.
