The supplementary bid for all 25 (23 captains and 2 first officers)MAN secondees ended at 9 o'clock this morning. I believe CP will be supplied with a list of those secondees who want to fly the RJ at EDI, INV or IOM. Final selection will be determined by date of joining parent company, eg. a BA secondee who joined BA in 1998 will be outbid by a BACX pilot who joined Manx in 1995. No preference or special treatment is being given to the secondees in this respect.
It looks like there's only a handful of secondees who have aspired for commands at EDI, INV or IOM. Once you introduce the date of joining the parent company, there may only be a couple of secondees who have enough seniority to move with the aircraft.
cap.pulitov and The Little Prince, it looks like the BACC has approached the subject with fairness and consideration for the BACX community. This time (unlike the original transfer of the RJ) there is no advantage in being a secondee in order to get the seat and base of your choice.
