Jetset, you're right about the decline of bmi mainline and that more pilots will leave. That appears to be exactly what the company wants. The company have been transferring work to the lower cost/higher productivity parts of the business for several years.

The dilution of your terms and conditions is bad news for us all. Until the three balpa CCs start working together, the company will continue to exploit our differences at your expense.
