Sorry.
A bit of trouble with this one, lads.
Let's see...
Atlas, (an American Company) leases a 744 to operate (wherever it's OC allows) signs an agreement with a foreign company (BA) to haul wicker baskets over a given period of time between A and B and it's a ***kin "issue"?
Atlas has a bit of a head-to-head with its pilot union and realize all it has to do is base the aircraft in some far away place, say EGSS, crew it with a few right-of-abode Wallys holding FAA licences, and it's an "issue"?
Atlas are then asked by BA to paint the A/C in its' colours and that's an "issue" as well? (nothing to do with the arrogance of Yankee marketing or BA S&M types?)
How would BA effectively go about changing the N-registration of a leased aircraft with an American company as the leaseholder???? (Serious trouble with that one)
This surely can't be an "issue" for anyone in the UK or EU. What with the number of Aussies, Indians and other Colonials taking away pilot jobs from european pilots at BA (and others). Surely to goodness, that number is far greater than the number of FAA licenced Europeans and Americans at some relatively small, even in number, quite often commuting to work types at Atlas UK?
Do come along!
