Word on the tarmac is that the seconded are willing to move and have suggested to BALPA that they like the look of GB at Manchester
bral, the supplementary bid for MAN secondees closed about 10 days ago. There were options for EDI, INV, IOM and all the BA LHR and LGW positions. There is no option for any secondee to be based at MAN. Your comment only serves to alienate the secondees and upset the boys and girls at GB.
I must say, I think it's disgraceful the way the BACX management are treating some BACX pilots regarding the latest aircraft bid. A number of pilots have been phoned to be told "
you haven't achieved any of your bids so would you please widen your selection." Bidding is all about requesting what you want and if you don't get it then you're moved and the company has to pay the price. Surely the current situation amounts to the company saying "
you haven't achieved any of your bids and we're now faced with paying for your relocation expenses and pay-protection. Would you mind taking a pay-cut by bidding for something you don't want." As bral says, it's a great shame when you see what the future holds for some of the RJ training captains.
