Hi woodpecker

Not nitpicking, just clarifying for the sake of those not familiar with the dreaded Bidline Rules......

If BA "Draft" you, you can turn it down,

If BA "Force Draft" you, you must accept.

In theory BA will offer Draft initially to pilots in a defined ( by the Rules) order. If no one accepts BA will then Force Draft, again, in theory, in a defined order...................( which means the first sucker to pick up the telephone gets nailed)

that's the theory
