Let's try to get this discussion back on thread shall we. The title is "Mass Exodus at BACX".Suggesting people are leaving in droves? - Correct?
Indeed, only a week ago rhythm method told us; "By my calculation, 92 pilots have left in approximately 14 months".This sounds like a company with a pretty high turnover of pilots, possibly confirmed by the numbers currently working their notice?
So the question is this: Is the suggested return of mainline secondees to LHR:
A) A short term fix to avoid GENUINE redundancies?
Or is it more simply:
B) An 'opportunity' to fulfil a long term aspiration to wriggle out of an agreement? (an aspiration illustrated admirably by most BACX posters on pprune!)
An agreement which MUST have suited BACX 3 years ago, since they signed up to it (secondees and all!)The answer to that question will influence the response to the following:
"Seconded BA pilots surely have a duty to the rest of the pilot community at BACX. It is in their interests to actively lobby BACC to come up with a solution to this unending shambles."
By the way: Bearing in mind the management of BACX MUST have known the impact of this reorganisation at least 2-3 months ago, can anybody tell me;
when did BACX cease recruitment?
PS. I'm not even a seconded pilot, but mine WAS one of the 160 jobs handed to BACX, SOME of whose pilots then revelled in the fact that they could do the job sooooooo much cheaper than us! As has been said before, Those jobs DID NOT just disappear, they were sold to the lowest bidder!
Which probably brings us full circle, back to the title of this thread!
